The Canadian Constitution, section 91, says the federal government can raise money "by any mode or system of taxation". Section 92 says the provinces can impose "direct taxes within a province" to raise revenue for provincial purposes.
As a result, while federal and provincial taxing powers overlap, the federal government can levy both indirect and direct taxes, including income tax. So you have to pay taxes in Canada.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 5 per cent across the country and most provinces have a provincial tax rate as well. Income tax rates vary from province to province.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) administers tax laws for the Government of Canada and for most provinces and territories; and various social and economic benefit and incentive programs delivered through the tax system.
