Tax refund by province
Federal and Quebec Provincial Tax
Canadian residents pay both federal tax and Quebec provincial tax. Quebec uses a progressive tax structure with a top marginal rate of 25.8%. Your total tax is calculated on the same taxable income for both; provincial tax is determined by your province of residence on December 31.
Quebec files separately with Revenu Québec. The solidarity tax credit, Québec abatement, and other provincial credits apply.
What Affects Your Quebec Tax Refund?
- RRSP contributions — Reduce taxable income at your marginal rate (federal + provincial)
- Basic Personal Amount — Federal and provincial amounts; indexed annually
- CPP/EI contributions — Overpayments are refundable; check your T4
- Provincial credits — Quebec-specific credits can increase your refund
- Childcare, medical, donations — Various deductions and credits apply
When Will I Get My Canada Tax Refund?
NETFILE returns are typically processed within 2 weeks. Allow up to 12 weeks for residents, 16 weeks for non-residents. Track your refund in My Account on the CRA website. Quebec residents receive a combined federal and provincial refund when filing one return.
