Alberta’s Finance Minister on February 27, 2025, delivered the province’s budget. The budget maintains existing corporate income tax rates but proposes the following changes:
- A new 8% individual (personal) income tax rate would apply to the first CA$60,000 of income starting January 1, 2025. This bracket would be adjusted by the "Alberta escalator" beginning in 2026.
- The locomotive fuel tax would increase to 6.5 cents per liter from 5.5 cents, effective March 1, 2025.
- A proposed supplemental personal tax credit would equal 2% on the amount of certain non-refundable tax credits claimed by an individual that exceeds CA$60,000.
- The Alberta Climate Leadership Adjustment Rebate and the Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit would end after December 31, 2025.
- Education property tax mill rates will rise to CA$2.72 for residential/farmland and CA$4.00 for non-residential properties per CA$1,000 of equalized assessment.
