Firstly, E&#038;Y appears to have put a floor of 0.00% on the published marginal tax rate for dividends; in fact, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prefblog.com\/?p=10226#comments\">tax on dividends can be negative<\/a> if the taxpayer has other income available to soak up the excess dividend tax credit. This will increase the equivalency factor for &#8220;Widows &#038; Orphans&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, if the taxpayer is subject to OAS clawback, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prefblog.com\/?p=2372&#038;cpage=1#comment-27981\">equivalency factor will decline by about 0.1<\/a>. It should be noted that this figure is an extremely rough estimate and is based solely on the direct income tax effect &#8211; there may be other net-income-tested benefits to the taxpayer, such as drug plans, which will exacerbate the decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E&#038;Y have analyzed Ontario tax rates as of 2012-1-15 and we may draw some conclusions from these data: Investors Taxable Income Marginal Rate on Interest Marginal Rate on Dividends Equivalency Factor Widows &#038; Orphans $30,000 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-taxation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19343\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
