It found Alberta and Saskatchewan were the only provinces that have both the lowest personal tax and the lowest business tax burdens.
"The tax burden is a key factor affecting both the cost of living and the cost of doing business," says the report, which is based on figures from Statistics Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency.
The report relies on data through 2011 for personal taxes and 2012 for business taxes.

"Overall, the report's pretty clear that the tax burden in Alberta compared to other provinces is much lower," Tombe said.
"And even the changes that we've seen over the last couple of years, that's not going to change that general conclusion. So taxes in Alberta are below average."
