Nova Scotia uses a 'step' tax table to calculate income tax withholding for each employee. The tax tables and tax withholding formulas did not change in 2023 (they last changed in 2012).
NOTE: TurtleSoft provides free tax updates each year for Canadian federal and Nova Scotia withholding tax rates.
