Still, you should start thinking about next year. While big earners could end up owing more in 2016, Doug Carroll, vice-president of tax and estate planning at Invesco Canada, notes that with the 2016 rate falling by 1.5% for the $45,000 to $90,000 income range, you can clear $216,000 before you pay more. So make sure you’re planning with the right numbers.</p>
<p><strong>The bottom line:</strong> Hefty paycheque? Talk to your accountant to see how to avoid paying more to the tax man next year.</p>
