MONTREAL, May 27, 2021 / CNW Telbec / – The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) welcomes the planned reduction in the average contribution rate to the Occupational Health and Safety Fund (FSST). Compared to 2021, it will decrease by $ 0.10 to settle at $ 1.67. The CFIB emphasizes the good management and prudent evaluation made by the National Center for the Social Sciences (CNESST) to arrive at this decision.
“For Quebec entrepreneurs, this is good news, especially since what they are asking the government to do first is tackle the tax burden to help them get back on their feet again.” François Vincent, Quebec Vice President at CFIB explains: “Quebec is still where you are. It has the highest payroll taxes in Canada. ”
In this regard, CFIB says the low tax burden on SMEs is beneficial both for those who remain vulnerable to the pandemic and for those suffering the impact of labor shortages. It therefore encourages the Government of Quebec to create a tax environment more conducive to business growth.
