Canada's richest one per cent of tax return filers saw their share of the country's total income remain the same in 2013 and their average total income grow by the same amount as everyone else's.

Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the top one per cent of tax filers received 10.3 per cent of the nation's total income in 2013, the same amount as the previous year.

To be considered in the top one per cent of tax filers, a worker had to earn $222,000 in 2013. That group included 264,030 people across the country.

To be included in the top five per cent, the income cutoff was $115,700, while to be in the top 10 per cent required $89,200.

The average income for a member of Canada's one per cent was $454,800 — an increase of $5,600 compared to the previous year.

The average one percenter paid $151,900 in income taxes that year, an increase of $3,000.

The top one per cent of tax filers paid 20.3 per cent of federal and provincial/territorial income taxes in 2013, unchanged from the previous year.

Women made up 21.9 of Canada's top one per cent of tax filers in 2013, a percentage that has increased for 20 consecutive years.
