Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

The NDP has consistently advocated for increasing taxes on large multinational corporations while providing relief for small businesses. In the 2019 federal election, they proposed raising the corporate tax rate for large corporations and lowering the small business tax rate. This approach aligns with their goal of promoting economic fairness and supporting local businesses.

Raise

For example, in the 2019 federal election, the NDP proposed raising the corporate tax rate from 15% to 18%. However, they may not always advocate for a blanket increase, as they also support targeted measures for different types of businesses.

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

Maintain the current rate
