Description:

18 September 2006
Tax Freedom Day is the day on which Canadian families with two or more individuals are purported to have earned sufficient income to pay their total tax bill to all levels of government for the entire year, and therefore, are able to "start working for themselves". Critics claim that the notion of Tax Freedom Day is misleading and calculated using a flawed methodology.

This document sets out an estimation of the budgetary burden of taxes, child care and housing for 1988 and 2003 for dual-earner middle-class families with young children. The report shows that this estimated burden on the budget of such families saw no significant improvement from 1988 to 2003 (in real terms), although it did improve slightly for families residing in the largest metropolitan areas.

In Canada, the federal Income Tax Act (ITA) contains a number of provisions that encourage charitable giving. It also provides some tax incentives for donations to non-profit organizations. This paper examines these tax provisions as well as recent changes to the treatment of charities in the ITA, and explores additional changes that could further assist the charitable and non-profit organizations.
