CPA Canada continues to hear from members and other Canadians about the unintended consequences of changes to capital gains inclusion rates – and we continue to advocate on behalf of the profession and the public to the federal government. We are concerned, not only about the impact of these specific changes (including the fast-approaching deadline, despite there being no legislation in place), but about the overall trend in tax policy that is making the system more convoluted and complex, even for tax professionals. That's why we also continue to call on the government to undertake a comprehensive review of the tax system, rather than enact piecemeal policies that further complicate it. Our tax VP, John Oakey, wrote a column for the Financial Post, in an effort to help the broader business community understand why these calls for tax reform are essential for economic growth. https://lnkd.in/dK6_tEzx ****** Des membres et d’autres parties prenantes du pays continuent de communiquer avec CPA Canada au sujet des conséquences imprévues qu’auront les modifications du taux d’inclusion des gains en capital, et nos démarches auprès du fédéral en vue de représenter les intérêts de la profession et du public se poursuivent. Nous sommes préoccupés non seulement par l’incidence de ces changements (et notamment par le fait que leur date de mise en place approche malgré l’absence de dispositions législatives à ce chapitre), mais aussi par la tendance générale à la complexification des politiques fiscales, devenues alambiquées même pour le fiscaliste. C’est pourquoi nous continuons aussi d’exhorter le gouvernement à réaliser un examen exhaustif du régime fiscal plutôt que d’adopter des politiques à la pièce qui ne font que le compliquer davantage. Notre vice-président, Fiscalité, John Oakey, a rédigé une chronique pour le Financial Post dans le but d’aider les gens d’affaires à comprendre pourquoi ces appels à une réforme fiscale sont essentiels à la croissance économique.

As the fallout from capital gains changes in the federal budget continues, Prime Minister Trudeau made a passing reference about the role of accountants in the tax system, alluding to wealthy Canadians who “use accountants” to pay less tax. We at CPA Canada strongly support the important role of accountants in shaping our nation’s financial landscape—on behalf of all Canadians. Our profession is built on the pillars of ethics and integrity and we continually advocate for a tax system that embodies simplicity, fairness, efficiency, and competitiveness. These principles guide our ongoing advocacy work with the federal government, including our pre-budget submission, which recommended that the government adhere to a principled approach to tax policy and administration that is driven by purpose and vision, as opposed to politics and expediency. Chartered Professional Accountants play many key roles within diverse segments of the economy including industry, public accounting, government, education and the not-for-profit sector. They offer a strong set of accounting and managerial skills required for today’s complex and evolving environment. CPAs are broad-minded, forward-thinking professionals who undertake appropriate analysis, exercise good judgment, communicate effectively and act to protect the public interest. We understand the complexities involved in tax legislation and are dedicated to maintaining a robust framework that ensures Canadians benefit from a just and equitable tax system, which is why CPA Canada will continue to call for a comprehensive review. CPAs are committed not just to compliance, but to leadership in fostering a stable and transparent financial environment. Our focus remains on advancing policies that support the economic well-being of Canadians. In communities across Canada, CPAs work tirelessly for a diverse set of clients and support those people in need through volunteer programs such as the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program which provides free tax clinics. We continue to hear from members who are concerned about the unintended consequences of the capital gains inclusion rate changes on middle-class Canadians. We stand ready to work with the government to refine and enhance our tax system, ensuring it serves the best interests of our diverse population. CPA Canada stands behind its members and will be contacting the Prime Minister’s office. #TaxPolicy #FairTaxation #CPACanada #FinanceCanada https://lnkd.in/gBQVVtru

Federal Budget 2024 is no game-changer. Instead, it continues Canada on the path of increased spending and taxation, leaving longer-term challenges, such as productivity and competitiveness, largely unaddressed – kicking the fiscal responsibility can down the road. The government has committed to nearly $50 billion in new spending measures, about half of that covered by new tax measures and the other half from a better-than-expected revenue outlook and an additional $10 billion in debt. Budget 2024 laid out plans to raise the annual inclusion rate for individuals’ capital gains of more than $250,000 from one-half to two-thirds. In addition, the inclusion rate for corporations and trusts will automatically rise to two-thirds, effective June 25. The plan is aimed at taxing wealthy Canadians, but middle-class Canadians, such as farmers, business owners or cottagers selling their assets could also be affected. We are relieved the government didn’t increase the capital gains inclusion rate in its entirety, however, it creates a two-tiered system that, once again, adds complexity into our income tax system. The capital gains tax measure will help to offset the cost of a lofty plan to “solve” Canada’s housing crisis and build 3.87 million new homes by 2031. We understand the federal government’s imperative to focus on Canada’s housing and affordability crisis. However, we remain concerned by its ongoing approach to spending – and paying for it with new tax measures. To hear more about the federal budget from CPA Canada experts, join our Chief Economist David-Alexandre Brassard and Vice-President of Tax John Oakey in our Federal Budget Debrief on LinkedIn Live tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. EDT.
