OPINION Lack of details on small business tax changes a concern for business coalition

CFIB Despite the federal government’s partial adjustments to its small business tax changes, business groups are still troubled about the potential negative effects the revised proposals will have on small and medium-sized firms. The concerns are spelled-out in a new letter to Finance Min- ister Bill Morneau by the Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness, a unified voice of now almost 80 organizations repre- senting hundreds of thousands of business owners across the country. “It’s been one month since the government provided any de- tails regarding its revised proposals.
