The Harper Government's Low-Tax Plan is Benefitting Canadian Families
(firmenpresse) - WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/09/13 -- The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, and M.P. Joyce Bateman (Winnipeg South Centre) today highlighted the benefits of the family tax measures introduced by the Harper Government, including the Children's Arts and Fitness Tax Credits, the First-Time Home Buyers' Tax Credit, the Family Caregiver Tax Credit, and the Tax-Free Savings Account.
"Our Government is committed to supporting Canadian families by keeping taxes low," said Minister Findlay. "These tax relief measures continue to help Canadian families keep more of their hard-earned money."
The Harper Government's strong record of providing tax relief to Canadians is delivering real results. The average family of four now saves more than $3,200 annually in taxes, including an average of $1,000 from reducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate by two percentage points.
These tax relief measures include:
"I'm happy that so many families across the country and right here in Winnipeg are benefitting from the tax savings provided by these family credits," said MP Bateman. "I am convinced that more families will take advantage of these important programs in 2013. Our Government will continue to support hard-working Canadians."
