Tax Reform in Canada by Allan M. Maslove,Institute for Research on Public Policy Pdf
This document contains two papers which address the process of tax reform and its fiscal impacts on families at different levels of income. The first paper, which examines the tax reform process, argues that of the government's three primary objectives in tax reform (efficiency or tax neutrality, equity, and simplicity), concern with efficiency was dominant. The second paper focuses on the concern for tax equity.

Tax Is Not a Four-Letter Word by Alex Himelfarb,Jordan Himelfarb Pdf
Taxes connect us to one another, to the common good, and to the future. This is a book about taxes: who pays what and who gets what. More than that, it’s about the role of government, about citizenship and our collective well-being, about the Canada we want. The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada. They challenge the view that any tax is a bad tax and provide broad directions for fairer and smarter approaches. This is a book that will be of interest to anyone concerned with public policy and public affairs, economics, and political science and to anyone interested in challenging the conventional wisdom that lower taxes and smaller government are the cures to what ails us.

Canada-U.S. Tax Comparisons by John B. Shoven,John Whalley Pdf
In the increasingly global economy, domestic tax policies have taken on a new importance for international economics. This unique volume compares the tax reform experiences of Canada and the United States, two countries with the world's largest bilateral flow of trade and investment. With the signing of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the tax reforms of the 1980s, there has been some harmonization of tax systems. But geographic, cultural, and political characteristics shape distinct national social policies that may impede harmonization. As the U.S. and Canadian economies become even more integrated, differences in tax systems will have important effects, in particular on the relative rates of economic growth. In this timely study, scholars from both countries show that, while the United States and Canada exhibit similar corporate tax structures and income tax systems, they have very different approaches to sales tax and social security taxes. Despite these differences, the two countries generate roughly the same amounts of revenue, produce similar costs of capital, and produce comparable distributions of income.

When the foundational elements of Canada' s corporate tax were put in place, they addressed the needs and policy concerns of a very different national and global context. More than four decades on, a seismic shift has taken place that has fundamentally altered our social and economic circumstances: the economic integration resulting from globalization has led to greater capital and corporate mobility, increased competition on tax rates, and substantial restructuring of Canada' s economic base away from manufacturing and toward services and resources. Higher rates of education and specialization, as well as women' s increased economic participation, have transformed our labour markets. The economic transformation has also been marked by increases in precarious employment and income inequality. These dramatic shifts have brought the need for substantive corporate tax reform clearly into view. While there have been significant efforts to modernize Canada' s sales tax and personal income tax, there has yet to be a serious public debate about the role and design of a corporate tax system that better meets the needs of modern Canada. In fact, the system has remained largely unchanged throughout the post-war period. Beyond serving as a significant source of public revenues, a modern corporate tax system should help federal and provincial governments achieve public policy goals of economic growth, increasing investment, and improving productivity and international competitiveness. An effective corporate tax should also raise revenues in a way that is efficient, transparent and equitable while discouraging avoidance. Canada' s current corporate tax system is failing on a number of fronts. It discourages investment, hampering innovation and productivity, by taxing the normal return to capital. It increases the risk of bankruptcy by treating debt financing more favourably than equity financing, which encourages firms to rely too heavily on debt finance. The system is economically inefficient and does not properly incentivize the right kinds of corporate behavior.
