Quebec is the only province that collects its own personal income tax separately. Rather than using the federal tax system, Quebecers file two separate tax returns: one to the CRA and one to Revenu Québec. To compensate for the cost of provincial programs, Quebec residents receive a 16.5% federal tax abatement.
