Canadians can never not argue about taxes. From the Chinese head
tax to the Panama Papers, from the National Policy to the
Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, tax grievances always
inspire private resentments and public debates. But if resentment
and debate persist, the terms of the debate have continually
altered and adapted to reflect changing social, economic, and
political conditions in Canada and the wider world. The centenary
of income tax is the occasion for Canadian scholars to wrestle with
past and present debates about tax equity, efficiency, and justice.
Who Pays for Canada? explores the different ways governments can
and should tax their peoples and evaluates how well Canada has done
so. It brings together a diverse group of perspectives from
academia - law, economics, political science, history, geography,
philosophy, and accountancy - and from the wider world of activists
and public servants. It asks how Canada compares to other countries
and how other countries - especially the United States - influence
Canadian tax policies. It also surveys internal tax tensions and
politics, through the lenses of region and jurisdiction, as well as
race, class, and gender. Reasoning from tax perplexities and
reforms in the past and the present, it argues that fair taxation
requires an informed populace and a democratically inclined public
will. Above all, this book serves as a reminder that it is not only
what counts as fair that is important, but how fairness is
evaluated. Revealing how closely tax policy is tied to mainstream
politics, human rights, and morality, Who Pays for Canada?
represents new perspectives on a matter of tremendous national
urgency.
