Which I think would lead to some creative compensation plans and tax tricks, and a lot of people make $57,249 a year.


I do support a shift from income to consumption taxes though.

Albertans will pay NO tax on the first $57,250 of personal income. For couples, $114,500 will be tax-free. Almost two-thirds of Albertans will be exempt from personal income tax under our plan. We will cut personal taxes on the rest of Albertans’ income by 1 point across the board. Most households will pay less tax overall! All will pay less income tax. Our bold plan works.

I think it's 0% on the first 57K for everyone.
