CanPay InsightsYukon tax and payroll deductions
Yukon workers pay federal income tax, Yukon territorial income tax, CPP contributions, and EI premiums. Yukon’s territorial tax is light — about $4,269 at $80,000, close to Ontario — so northern paycheques often beat what people assume before northern allowances even enter the picture.
