33% here in Toronto. So its pretty much the same as in Cali. But the question is if the cost of living is higher than in Toronto. Toronto is the 104th most expensive city in the world. Ottawa is cheaper at 127th. I do not know how expensive Oakland is but Spiff is living the 22nd most expensive city in the world.

ps: It also depends obviously in the bracket you are in. I have a side business which I can claim lots of expenses and have a measly revenue.....umm..is this moderated by Revenue Canada.
