While the cost of living is a huge concern in Canada, most Canadians likely don’t know that taxes remain the single largest expense for the average family.
Canadians pay many different taxes (income taxes, sales taxes, fuel taxes, property taxes, etc.), so it’s difficult to know how much you pay in total each year. While some of these taxes are visible — for example, you can check your pay stub to see how much you pay in personal income taxes — many taxes are hidden or less visible.
