Effective January 1, 2015, the Yukon has a fifth tax bracket for income in excess of $500K.  At income levels below $500,000, the Yukon dividend tax credit on eligible dividends exceeds the Yukon personal tax otherwise payable on the dividend. The rate shown for income between $200,000 and $500,000 assumes that the individual has sufficient Yukon taxes payable on other sources of income to fully benefit from the dividend tax credit. An individual with no other Yukon taxes to offset would pay the Federal tax of 24.81%.
