Not quite.
If you reside in Canada the $7.50 dividend is NOT "income" but "eligible dividend". In Ontario for example it would be basically tax free if your income is under $45,000 (rates vary by province) as the "dividend tax credits" (both federal and provincial) offset the income tax payable.
If you are not familiar with dividend taxation, I strongly recommend you consult a competent accountant to help through the process.
