The Connection Between Taxation and Social Programs “Why do we have taxes?” The Connection Between Taxation and Social Programs

“Certainty. In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes “Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” – Benjamin Franklin

Why do we have taxes? To pay for the government! To help the government pay for the services it provides to its’ citizens, such as: health care Universal Child Care Benefit roads & highways Immigration Services Employment Insurance Military Environmental Controls RCMP Canada Pension Plan National Security (border patrols, passport offices, etc) Old Age Security Education (universities, colleges, K-12 education) Resource Conservation Social Services (child protection, affordable housing) Crown Corporations (Canada Post, National Film Board, etc)

Types of Taxes In Canada, the federal, provincial, and local government levels ALL collect taxes from citizens in a variety of different forms. Federal Taxes: GST, income tax Provincial Taxes: Alberta tax Local Taxes: property tax

Transfer Payments In Canada, the federal government transfer some of the taxes it receives from Canadians to the provinces of Canada, based on their level of need. In Canada, these transfers include the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer. These funds go towards social programs.

Death to Taxes Every country and political party has different ideas on what types of taxes to collect, as well as how to spend those tax dollars within their country. The money a country has to spend from taxes is called a tax base. In all countries, it’s against the law to NOT pay taxes. If you don’t, you can go to jail for tax evasion.

Other Illegals

The Underground Economy People who do not pay the taxes required by law are considered to be part of the ‘underground’ economy. Why is it called ‘underground’? Another term for the underground economy is the black market.

What effect do tax evaders have? How does tax evasion affect law-abiding Canadians? If Canadians fail to pay taxes as required, less money is available to governments to support social programs as well as to assist other programs. How is the quality of life of Canadians affected?
