The federal government’s corporation tax proposals have divided opinion among Canadians a new survey shows.
Just two in five (38%) say they back the changes with 17% against but 45% told research firm Insights West that they are undecided.
However, support for the ‘reasonableness test’ is high (64%). This measure will ensure that all family members who are named as a corporation’s shareholders are legitimately earning dividends.
Most Canadians believe that surgeons and veterinarians are paid about right for what they do and are likely to pay the right amount of tax but are split on taxation rules for doctors.
“The survey shows that Canadians who are aware of the proposed tax changes agree with ensuring that doctors do not take advantage of the existing guidelines with bogus employees,” says Mario Canseco, Vice President, Public Affairs, at Insights West.”
The study also reveals that most respondents think lawyers and politicians are paid too much for the work they do and are unlikely to pay the correct taxes.
