How it works in Northwest Territories
The Northwest Territories has its own territorial table because territorial tax rules differ from the provinces.
The table amount is the starting point. Parents usually also share special expenses such as daycare and orthodontics, and the amount can change with shared parenting or if paying it would cause undue hardship.
