In Canada, you enter the 62.5% when you enter the highest tax bracket.
Unfortunately, this begins at $55K (depending on the province).Here, you don't
need a seven figure income to require one of those off shore tax shelters.
But please, come up north and share the tax burden. The smog in Toronto (now 6
million strong during the day... 1.5 million perform the stagnant commute in
daily) is just lovely this time of year. And can I interest you in a -40 degree
six month winter? Hey! that's in celcius don't you know.

Jeez! Where the hell are you living?! And how did you manage to
get into a 62.5% tax bracket as a technical writer? What, you have a seven
figure income or somethig?!
