Show Notes

Calls for tax reform have echoed across party lines for years, but as global trade relationships shift, the pressure to act is intensifying. What, beyond political slogans, would meaningful tax reform actually look like in practice? To examine that question, we turn to Allison Christians, professor and H. Heward Stikeman Chair in the Law of Taxation at McGill University, and Geoffrey Turner, adjunct professor and Tax Counsel-in-Residence at the University of Toronto, to unpack the structural challenges facing Canada's tax system. Then, moving from theory to the real-world consequences for taxpayers, we zoom in on what matters most this filing season, with Ali Spinner, tax partner at Crowe Soberman Chartered Accountants, breaking down the key issues Canadians need to keep in mind as they file their returns.
