(firmenpresse) - PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/08/15 -- The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, today met with members of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce to highlight the Government of Canada's actions to cut red tape and improve services, and to promote other government tax relief measures for small and medium-sized businesses.
This Government to reduce the red tape burden for businesses, including:
In September 2014, the Government of Canada also introduced the Small Business Job Credit, a two-year measure that effectively lowers the Employment Insurance premiums for small businesses for two years. The savings will help small businesses create jobs and support Canada's economic growth.
The Government of Canada continues to work with small and medium-sized business owners and their stakeholders to reduce red tape. This past fall, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) met with small and medium-sized business owners, their accountants, bookkeepers, and stakeholder associations-in more than 20 cities across the country and online-to hear how the CRA could further improve its red tape reduction efforts. Results of the 2014 consultation findings will be made public this spring.

"Our Government understands the important role that small businesses, like those here in Prince George, play in growing local economies. That is why we continue to cut red tape, enhance our services and provide tax relief to business owners. The Small Business Job Credit will save small business owners $550 million over two years, money that can be reinvested to create jobs and help communities prosper. And I'm proud to say that the credit creates no added administrative burden on small businesses; the CRA will calculate the credit for them, so that they can continue to focus on what they do best."
