I'm looking to emigrate to Canada, particularly BC or Alberta. What is the tax situation in Canada? I've found personal income tax rates for the province but is there anything further the government wants? A federal tax? Provincial healthcare contribution? Secondly, what does the provincial healthcare actually cover? I'm self-employed so I'll be looking to get private insurance anyway, but what are the basics? If I get hit by a car or mauled by a bear, am I liable for 100%? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently paying $650 US a month for mandatory health insurance in Japan, so I like the look of $70/m a lot.

Thanks for all the information. You've actually above and beyond and a little too focused on healthcare, my most pressing question was whether there is a federal or provincial tax beyond the personal income tax? Currently I live in Japan where I pay 20% income, 10% prefectural to separate agencies, and then health insurance beyond that (oh, and as a self-employed a 5% retroactive tax on income two years previous, which is why I want to get the gently caress out of here). Do I get one bill on income alone in Canada, or two, or three? Or property tax? loving bureaucracy.
