The CRA has issued a more recent tax“folio” indicating that employee discounts are to be considered taxable benefits.

revrnd Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 If there was ever the time for the old cartoon of the taxpayer in threadbare clothes w/ the pockets out, this is it. But let's just go w/ this: Quote If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. Don't ask me what I want it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So increase tax on the lower little guy and leave the upper class and trust funds alone. He is taxing little guy to keep more for himself. So he is keeping it while everyone else pays more. Its another tax on workers to fund his bullshit pandering. Dont forget Fail you are the one continually going on about a tax break you recieved. How does this work out for a Minimum wage mall clerk who used to get a clothing discount? Still ahead in taxes are they? He has clawed back any percieved tax break long ago. But i guess it doesnt effect you so something doesnt add up. And as Justin said tax cut! So it must be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is even more to this, as fucked as it is While franchises offer a paltry discount to their staff, independent business are known to give employees discounts of up to 50-70% off retail price. This is will be an administrative nightmare, and I bet some businesses will revoke staff privileges. Some of the people that this tax will really hurt are - the single mom that serves at an independent restaurant, and golf and ski resort staff that enjoy free golf and skiing.

revrnd Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I had to chuckle at Mulcair's recent comment about the PM going up against Trump was akin to Bambi vs Godzilla. Not sure if this is what he was referencing or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't say but that Minister (some Quebec MP) had clarified things. Funny I hadn't seen that on the news nor heard of her before tonight.
