CANADIAN
CHAMBER'S REPORT ON OUR BUSINESS
TAX SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
The
combined federal-provincial corporate tax rate has
been reduced from 47 per cent in 2000 to about 31
per cent. Proposed cuts in federal and provincial
tax rates will further reduce the rate to 26 per
cent by 2012. By 2012, Canada will have the lowest
statutory corporate income tax rate in the G7
group of industrialized nations. Canada already
has the lowest effective tax rate on new business
investment in the G7.

OCC
OPINION PIECE ON HST – SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR PROSPERITY

In
an editorial
May 7, 2010 in the Toronto Star, Len Crispino argued
that a small increase in sales tax paid in the
short term, is not a big price to pay for tax
reforms that will ultimately increase wages, job
creation and investment in Ontario.
While
in the short term, the taxes paid on some services
may increase, the elimination of sales tax on the
many stages of production of goods and services
will ultimately mean lower prices for consumers.

for the HST.
