If you want yet another example of why BC's new PST on professional services hurts our economy, look no further: Businesses with any locations in BC will now have to prorate and pay PST on their accounting services, even if both the HQ and accounting firm are located outside the province. Why bother starting a business or opening a storefront here if you're going to suffer death by a thousand cuts? It's not just the cost, its the red tape that adds insult to injury! Petty tax grabs like this are why we are facing an entrepreneurial drought. The only solution is to scrap this tax hike! #bcpoli
CFIB welcomes the MB WCB’s $90M surplus rebate to employers, but the board remains above its 130% target. We continue to call for a legislated, predictable rebate framework as MB faces an entrepreneurial drought, with more businesses closing than opening. cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/90-mi…

The federal spring economic update includes some welcome measures, but it is not enough to halt the alarming loss of small businesses across Canada. The update continues the federal government’s focus on investments in major projects and large companies, with small and medium-sized firms stuck in the same old mix of red tape and high taxes. I don’t see much that will help Canada avoid a seventh quarter in a row of losses in the net number of small businesses. We need action to stop Canada’s entrepreneurial drought.
The BC government is refusing to say what the increases costs are for FIFA. That’s not good news for taxpayers. My latest in @BIVnews biv.com/news/commentar…
