Deductions include federal income tax, provincial income tax, CPP and EI. Note 1: The results above are independent of job loss effects examined in the previous section.the effect on total wage costs to the employer is uncertain depending on the number of jobs cut or fewer jobs being created. However, on a per employee cost basis, it can be seen that payroll deductions as a percentage of net income have increased in 2010 compared to 2007 even with increases in the minimum wage across most provinces. Note 2: Increased income through minimum wage increases could also result in lost benefits delivered through the tax system due to ineligibility to qualify (e.g. GST tax credit) but this effect is excluded from the analysis.
