TABE Webinar: Making Canada’s Tax System Competitive

 

Tax policy is back in vogue. With its new Productivity Mega Deduction, Canada has put tax competitiveness squarely on the table in its push to attract global capital and spur an investment cycle. The move also opens a broader discussion about how Canada can best shape its tax policy going forward to support productivity and growth.

Join TABE for a lunchtime webinar with Dr. Jack M. Mintz, one of Canada’s leading authorities on tax policy. He will discuss how Canada’s tax system compares with those of its competitors, what recent changes mean for business investment, and what the next priorities should be. His recent C.D. Howe Institute report, “Big Bang” Tax Reform: Unleashing Growth in the Canadian Economy, lays out a path for comprehensive reform of Canada’s tax system.
