Quebec uses a 'step' table for payroll tax withholding calculations. The tax table calculates different payroll withholding rates for different wage amounts. Tax tables and tax withholding formulas did not change in 2008.

Quebec has a separate Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) instead of the federal Canadian Pension Plan (CPP). However the QPP rates are the same as the CPP rates for other provinces.

There are several additional Quebec provincial taxes which are included as Tax Items.

Quebec does not allow deductions for LCP investments.

HINT-- Turtle Creek Software provides free annual updates for Canadian federal and Quebec provincial tax withholding rates.
