You will still have to file a tax return the following fiscal year so that Revenue Canada can calculate whether you\u2019ve overpaid or still owe tax.\u00a0<\/p>\n Your federal tax bracket\u201415% to 33% in Canada<\/a>\u2014is based on your\u00a0taxable income. Other payroll deductions include contributions to the Canada\u00a0Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) systems.<\/p>\n Fast-food workers, call centre employees, waiters and various frontline customer service positions are often minimum-wage jobs.
