Un grupo de expertos de Canadá, el C.D. Howe Institute, recently released a report on Canada’s “tax competitiveness” — assessing how corporate taxes in Canada compare to those in other countries and also how tax rates vary among the Canadian provinces.
Entre los hallazgos:
La buena noticia es que METR de Canadá (marginal effective tax rate) ha caÃdo a 28.0 por ciento en 2009 and is set to fall further….a 18.9 percent by 2013. If no offsetting tax changes occur abroad by 2013, these tax changes will place Canada’s rate for capital investment close to the average level of marginal effective tax rates among 80 countries worldwide.
Sin embargo, the study also “…reveals an ‘eye-popping’ divergence in approach to tax policy among (provincial) gobiernos:”
A leader on the path to prosperity…es Nuevo Brunswick, which is pursuing broad structural reforms to its personal and business tax structures to improve simplicity and efficiency. También, Ontario y Columbia Británica will adopt a more efficient and fair sales tax structure by harmonizing their individual sales tax regimes with the federal GST…..
On the other end of the spectrum, several provinces have failed to improve their tax structures. Isla del PrÃncipe Eduardo retains the most outdated structure, with high tax rates on corporate income and retail sales.
Asà que where do businesses in Canada pay the highest taxes?
En 2009, las provincias del Atlántico, a excepción de la Isla del PrÃncipe Eduardo, taxed capital investment the least, seguido por Quebec y Alberta….
The highest-taxed province in 2009 es todavÃa Ontario, but this is rapidly changing. Prince Edward Island will become the highest-taxed province in 2013 en 29.2 por ciento, after Ontario and British Columbia implement their sales tax harmonization and Ontario reduces its corporate income tax rate to 10 por ciento. Manitoba will be second-highest taxed at 27.0 por ciento, seguido por Saskatchewan en 24.9 por ciento.
