The incomes of the top 1% of taxpayers equalled 10.6% of the national total in 2010, after growing from 7% in the early 1980s to a peak of 12.1% in 2006, Statistics Canada said Monday.

In 2010, a tax filer required an annual income of $201,400 to be in the top 1%, up from $147,500 in 1982.

"However, that top 1% also paid 21.2% of all federal and provincial or territorial income taxes, down from the peak of 23.3% in 2007, but up from 13.4% in 1982."
