As tax hikes go, Alberta's isn't too bad.

The Canadian Taxpayer's Federation has released it's 2014 New Year's Tax Changes.

Alberta has the lowest increase in taxes at $46. New Brunswick had the highest increase at $869.

Other changes include EI taxes going up $23 despite the federal government announcing freezes to EI and CPP taxes. CPP taxes will be rising as well.

And those in the giving spirit for the first time will see a bigger chunk of their money go to a tax credit. First time donors to a registered charity will receive a 40 per cent tax credit on the first $200 and 54 per cent on donations over $200.

Across the country taxpayers will see their tax brackets indexed to inflation.

Unless you live in Nova Scotia, Manitoba or Prince Edward Island. Those provinces don't index their tax brackets, resulting in a bigger tax grab for the government.
