Keep in mind that the DTC (dividend tax credit) is an important component of dividend income in investing for Canadians.

For example an individual living in Ontario earning $41000 a year from eligible Can dividend income plus CPP of $6000. would pay only $600 in taxes and this is I believe primarily due to the Ontario Health tax which is unavoidable.

Say the individual earned $20000 in dividends not eligible for the DTC and $21000 that were they would owe taxes of $3950.
