Nunavut income tax
Progressive brackets with a top marginal rate of about 11.50%.
CPP / QPP & EI
Employee payroll contributions are largely federal; Quebec uses QPP with its own rates.

Sales tax ~5% and property tax ~1% are context, not in the ladder.
Before you relocate to Nunavut for taxes
Confirm tax residence

Check sales & property tax
GST/HST/PST ~5% and property tax ~1% affect cash flow after payday.
