Démarrage d'une entreprise au Canada? Ensuite, — unfortunately — you’ll need to learn more about Les taxes canadiennes.

Un think tank canadien, l' C.D. L'Institut CD Howe, 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.

Parmi les résultats:

Les bonnes nouvelles sont que Canada Metro (marginal effective tax rate) a chuté à 28.0 percent in 2009 and is set to fall further….à 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.

Cependant, the study also “…reveals an ‘eye-popping’ divergence in approach to tax policy among (provincial) gouvernements:”

A leader on the path to prosperity…est Nouveau-Brunswick, which is pursuing broad structural reforms to its personal and business tax structures to improve simplicity and efficiency. Aussi, De l'Ontario et Colombie-Britannique 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. Prince-Édouard retains the most outdated structure, with high tax rates on corporate income and retail sales.

Alors where do businesses in Canada pay the highest taxes?

Dans 2009, les provinces de l'Atlantique, sauf à l'ÃŽle-du-Prince-Édouard, taxed capital investment the least, suivie par Québec et Alberta….

The highest-taxed province in 2009 est toujours Ontario, but this is rapidly changing. Prince Edward Island will become the highest-taxed province in 2013 à 29.2 pour cent, after Ontario and British Columbia implement their sales tax harmonization and Ontario reduces its corporate income tax rate to 10 pour cent. Manitoba will be second-highest taxed at 27.0 pour cent, suivie par Saskatchewan à 24.9 pour cent.
