Mainstream Canada Enough is Enough By! Roger Worth The true story is finally known, and it's an ugly tale indeed. The fact is, Canada's fed- eral'government has been horrendously horrendously over-taxing more than 100,000 hard working husband and wife teams running running small businesses, farms, and fishery operations, to the tune of more than $160 million per year. What's just as bad, Ottawa has blatantly discriminated. against women, in a country where rights for the many times fairer sex are supposed to be a major concern. The situation is shocking and shameful, even scandalous. The issue: taxpayers who employ spouseS in unincorporated unincorporated businesses in Canada have not been able to claim the salaries paid for such jobs as a'taxable expense. 'in Ottawa's view, such spouses do not really contribute contribute to the health of the small enterprise, or, if they do, Ih'e deep thinkers in the tax department department believe they should work for nothing. The Canadian. Federation 'of Independent Business has waged an eight-year battle to ' have the inherently discriminatory discriminatory tax legislation 1 changed. The result: just such a proposal proposal in the latest unpassed federal budget. What's stunning/though, are Finance Department estimates estimates jof the Cost of the measure measure - a staggering $160 million. million. This is the annual price that unincorporated corner" store ' operators, retailers, small manufacturers, manufacturers, service organizations,, organizations,, farmers, fishermen, and . other entrepreneurs have paid to operate as independents. Hundreds of thousands of other more sophisticated Canadian Canadian couples have been forced to pay useless accounting and legal fees so they could incorporate incorporate to "beat" the discriminatory discriminatory tax law. Enough is enough. Every candidate in the upcoming federal federal election should support the overthrow of this iniquitous iniquitous tax regulation. Those candidates candidates who oppose the change, should explain why. Canada's legislators should ,be backing the husband and .wife teams that work long, hard hours to create a viable business. They're the backbone of the economy.
