Prince Edward Island Budget 2026 [Updated]

Tax Alert 2026 No. 23, 27 April 2026

PEI Finance Minister Jill Burridge tabled the province’s fiscal 2026 budget on 14 April 2026.

On 22 April 2026, the Finance Minister clarified that the new personal income tax bracket announced in the budget will apply as of 1 January 2026, rather than beginning in 2027, as previously indicated in Appendix VII: Provincial Tax Changes to the 2026 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditures budget document. This correction aligns with the coming into force of the amendments implementing the new income tax bracket contained in Bill 23, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, which received first reading on 17 April 2026.

This alert has been updated to reflect the government’s correction and replaces the previous version of the alert that was released on 15 April 2026.
