Canadians for Tax Fairness

Important work on #GenderJustice + #TaxJustice from our international partners, @globaltaxjustice.org ✊✊✊

Automatic tax filing is long-overdue. Yet tax filing giants have been investing in major lobbying efforts to block it. It would put billions in unpaid benefits in the hands of low-income Canadians and greatly improve accessibility. We need our government to make this happen, once and for all.

Excellent interview! @taxjustice.net @theguardian.com 💥💥

In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.

Opinion: Why do we keep letting Canada’s ultrarich use tax havens to stash wealth? Carney needs to end a near-universally loathed loophole that allows the wealthiest and largest corporations to avoid paying billions

Our latest report on tax havens exposes how the ultra-rich are hiding hundreds of billions in tax shelters - with help from our government. 🌴💸 Check out our op-ed in today's Globe & Mail! www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Ricardo Tranjan: Income inequality reached a new high. Here’s why Ottawa’s DOGE-style cuts will only make it worse The prime minister has gone from Captain Canada to Captain Cuts.

Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havens—and billions more from other tax loopholes—could save us from 15% or more in cuts to the CBC, VIA Rail, StatsCan, museums, and other public services.

It can also help reverse deepening wealth and income inequality. Pass it on 📣

📢 Big corporations & the ultra-rich are hiding $682B in tax havens, while everyday Canadians are left holding the bag. That’s a 165% increase since 2014.

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.

The rise and rise of tax havens Introduction: Canada has a big tax haven problem

After decades of international cooperation and the domestic implementation of a global minimum corporate tax, the use of tax havens must be declining, right?

Actually, our new report finds Canadian assets in tax havens hit a record $682B in 2024, up 165% from 2014 www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

The super rich have tons of tax advantages available to them, and yet...

They're still choosing to steal billions every year according to a new report from @c4tf.bsky.social

These people aren't patriots. They don't care about our economy, democracy, or country.

Great piece in @macleans.bsky.social from the newest #TaxTheRich kids on the block, @patmillscanada.bsky.social! 💫

Carney may have dropped his elbows but the rest of us need to keep them up. If you want to support fair taxation initiatives, give Canadians for Tax Fairness @c4tf.bsky.social a follow.

Dear Mark Carney and François-Philippe Champagne: Canada cannot afford to concede more to foreign tech giants We are disappointed by the government’s decision yesterday to both halt collection of the Digital Services Tax and eventually repeal the Digital Services Tax Act.

Proud to sign on to this important statement with our civil society colleagues in the Toronto Star in support of the DST www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Trump is a bully, with the attention span of a goldfish. Canada can’t cave to the pressure and enable the long-term greed of big tech because he’s throwing a tantrum. Our latest on the DST here: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...
