Close Tax Loopholes

Message to Finance Committee: Close Unfair Tax Loopholes
OTTAWA, November 20, 2013 - Canadians for Tax Fairness called on the federal government to close a number of unfair and ineffective tax loopholes in its presentation to the House of Commons Finance Committee Pre-Budget Consultations.

The resolution said, "We encourage the Conservative Party to move to a less progressive tax system by reducing the number of personal income tax brackets."
It may have received support because many Canadians think the rich are paying too much tax.
