Dear John,
Our latest study finds that – despite claims from certain groups – governments across Canada already maintain some of the most progressive tax systems in the industrialized world.
Tax progressivity means people who earn more, pay a higher share of total taxes than those who earn less.
Newfoundland and Labrador maintains the most progressive tax system in Canada, and the second-most progressive system out of the 45 jurisdictions measured. Saskatchewan’s tax system is the least progressive in Canada, yet it still ranks 17th-highest overall.
In other words, all Canadian provinces rank in the top half of OECD jurisdictions for tax progressivity.
Find out where your province ranked here, and be sure to share the news on social media!
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
