Saskatchewan Income Tax 2026 | SK Tax Brackets & Rates

Updated

Saskatchewan Income Tax 2026

Saskatchewan offers some of the most favourable income tax conditions in Canada. Its 3-bracket system tops out at 14.5% — the lowest provincial top rate in the country — and its basic personal amount of $20,381 is the highest of any province. Combined, these features make Saskatchewan particularly attractive for high-income earners and retirement planning. The province does not harmonize its sales tax with the federal GST, instead charging a separate 6% PST.

Climate Action Incentive (Ended)

The federal Climate Action Incentive (later renamed the Canada Carbon Rebate) made its final quarterly payment in January 2025 and ended when the federal consumer carbon tax was eliminated on April 1, 2025. Saskatchewan residents do not receive an ongoing federal climate rebate as of 2026 — do not budget for it.
