Where do ideas like this come from? It is incorrect.
Here’s the basic tax form for 2019, nothing too different from previous years:
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/5015-r/5015-r-19e.pdfNotice that right off the top is a $12,069 deduction, so that is taken off of the $50,000 right from the start. More deductions are available along the way.
When you finally do arrive at your taxable amount, notice that amounts less than $47,630 are taxed at 15% (between $47,630-$95,259 is taxed at 20.5%).
The provincial tax on this differs from Province to Province, but likely ends up as a zero once through all the deductions. Most people in Canada earning $50,000 or less end up receiving a cheque after doing their taxes.
As for tithing, if I earned a $50,000 salary I was expected to pay $5000, pure and simple. But if I had a business and grossed $50,000 with $10,000 in expenses, I was expected to pay $4000 in tithing. Some on RfM have reported that the church requested tithing on gross. That was not my experience.
