Question: what are estate taxes in ontario?
Answer: It is a two-tiered amount, which starts at $5 per $1,000 for the first $50,000 of an estate and goes up to $15 for each $1,000 after that. Ontario's charges are the highest in Canada. In other provinces and territories, the charge is a flat set amount or does not exceed $7 per $1,000, compared to Ontario's $15.
