The Report
Our taxes fund a wide range of public services that help make Canada's quality of life better than many other nations.
In fact, middle-income Canadian families enjoy public services worth about $41,000— or 63% of their income.
Even households earning $80,000–$90,000 a year enjoy public services benefits equivalent to about half of their income.
This study adds a dimension that has been missing to the public debate over taxes and public spending in Canada. It weighs the benefits of public services provided by federal, provincial, and municipal governments against the benefits of recent tax cuts. Click here to download the full report.
