What's different about self-employment tax

As a self-employed Canadian you pay both halves of CPP (11.9% on net business income from $3,500–$68,500 in 2024). You also need to remit any GST/HST you collected (less Input Tax Credits) and make quarterly instalments once your tax owing crosses ~$3,000.
