Canada Corporation Tax Rate Is Going Down

There is a campaign going on right now, that will decrease the corporation income tax rate further from the 15% tax rate that will hit in 2012.

The idea behind reduction of corporation tax rate is that these tax cuts will create more jobs in the economy in the time of recession.

It turns out the people who are looking for jobs or work in the corporation are not in favour of corporate income tax rate cut.

In 2007, the House of Commons approved a series on annual income tax rate cuts starting 2011. On New Year’s day, the corporate tax rate dropped by 1.5% from 18% of income to 16.5%. Next year the final tax rate will come into place and reduce the corporate income tax rate to 15%. It is hoped that with the additional money saved from the tax cuts, corporation will expand their operation and hire more employees.
