After-tax income for gov't of Canada employees?

[vancouverdc4]

I was just wondering if anyone here works for the gov't of canada and how much of your pay goes to taxes/union fees.

[misteranswer]

Government employees get taxed the same as everyone else. Union dues depend on which union/local.

they hav to pay extra for pension though, dont they?

[gianttama]

when i was still a fed govt employee, i paid the same tax (same tax rate), plus a bit union dues and yes i paid into pension too.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

everyone pays the same tax.

[K-bad]

Yea i get the same tax as everyone else.

Ditto, paying union fee's too even though i'm not part of the union right now... aha
