We'll give
you tax relief...
"High taxes are undermining the Canadian economy. They threaten the financial security of Canadians, kill jobs, hurt the ability of our entrepreneurs to compete internationally, and reduce the disposable incomes of families. It's time to give Canadians the tax relief they want and deserve."

OUR COMMITMENT TO CANADIANS
|
A Reform Government will:
- Lower taxes for all Canadians: $2,000 by the year 2000 for the average family
- Increase the Basic Personal Amount from $6,456 to $7,900, giving tax relief to every single taxpayer in the country
- Increase the Spousal Amount from $5,380 to $7,900, leveling the field for parents who choose to stay at home to look after young children, and helping families meet the needs of a more demanding economy
- Eliminate the 3% and 5% federal surtaxes introduced by the federal Tories as part of our commitment to simplify and flatten income taxes
- Cut employers' Unemployment Insurance premiums by 28%, reducing job-killing payroll taxes in order to create more and better paying jobs. We will also equalize the premiums paid by employers and those paid by employees
- Cut capital gains tax in half to free up more capital for investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and growth
- Extend the $3,000-$5,000 child care deduction to all parents including those who care for their children at home
- Simplify and flatten the income tax system, and replace the GST
