Economic future in peril, S&P says
Article Abstract:
The future of the Canadian economy is imperiled by poor investments in equipment and machinery. This development is the result of the country's corporate taxation system, according to a study conducted by Standard and Poor's DRI. The study points to Canada's taxation system, which assesses a 35.7% tax on services compared to only 8.6% on manufacturing industries, as a factor in preventing investments towards people and machinery. A shift in the tax burden is seen as necessary for the development of the service industries.
