Of course we have property tax levied from the municipality. Income tax (federal and provincial).

yes, there is probate tax ..or death tax. Probate is a term from English common law. Some of it can be avoided if one engages in careful estate planning.

This is why I have not much sympathy for big corporations who whine away about paying corporate tax. There are all kinds of loopholes for them when their firm hires an astute tax lawyer. And I say this with strong criticism, after having worked for an international accounting and tax firm for a few years where my job was solely on international tax law research.
