Compliance demands have become excessive

grown increasingly complex – complicating even the simplest transactions. This underscores the need for a thorough review of the ITA .

For instance, trusts must now report beneficial ownership to prevent money laundering, financing of terrorism and tax evasion. While the aim is clear, the broad scope of affected taxpayers with limited narrow exceptions, such as the $50,000 de minimis threshold, create excessive burdens. Mandatory disclosure rules are another example. Its broad definition of “avoidance transaction” encompasses regular tax planning, causing significant anxiety over harsh non-compliance penalties. Despite being guided by three generic hallmarks, the vagueness of MDR leads to high administrative and compliance costs, pushing professionals to report extensively to avoid penalties. Given that vagueness, the CRA was forced to produce its own interpretive guidance to make the regime workable.

Finally, the revised alternative minimum tax regime, with a 100-per-cent capital gains inclusion rate and only half the allowable capital loss deductions, disrupts fundamental tax principles. This change can unfairly increase tax burdens during fluctuating investment years, contradicting the core concept of offsetting gains with losses.
