Small Business Tax Changes - Update

On October 16, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the federal government’s response to the more than 21,000 submissions it received during the previous three months with regard to the government’s proposed changes to the tax treatment of small business.

The key provisions contained in his announcement and the Canadian Chamber’s

messaging with regard to each are summarized in the attached update below.

In addition to responding to the government’s new proposed tax changes, the Chamber has called on the government to undertake a comprehensive review of the tax system.

With mounting regulatory compliance costs imposed by all levels of government, proposed carbon taxes, and the prospect of US tax reform, the Chamber will launch its own competitiveness assessment of Canada’s business tax system in 2018. The findings of our review will help to shape the priorities for tax reform.
