The UCP actually raised everyone's income tax through bracket creep.
NDP added high income brackets in their term, but have been silent since.

This is from the Alberta Party this year under the leadership of Barry:

The Alberta Party would also increase the income tax deduction limit for small businesses and maintain corporate tax levels where they currently stand. With revenue clearly remaining a problem for the government, the Alberta Party proposes a review of tax structures that includes decreasing personal income taxes and the introduction of a harmonized sales tax once the province has recovered from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a made-in-Alberta carbon tax would keep funds in the province instead of being sent to Ottawa, and revenues would be used on initiatives that reduce carbon emissions so that Alberta can remain a global energy leader.
“Alberta needs a serious review of how we treat taxation in order to get to a place of stability and fiscal discipline”, stated Mark Nikota, the Party’s Shadow Minister of Treasury Board and Finance. “This Shadow Budget reflects innovative conversations that are happening, and strong leadership is required to get the province on the right course.”
