Harper Government Provides Continued Tax Relief in 2013
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/02/13 -- The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue, today highlighted the tax relief measures that the Harper Government has made available to Canadians through Canada's Economic Action Plan. As Canadians prepare to file their 2012 taxes, they will be able to claim the Family Caregiver Tax Credit for the first time. This new tax relief measure is only one of many introduced since 2006 to keep taxes low for Canadian families and businesses.
"Our Government is committed to supporting hardworking Canadians and their families," said Minister Shea. "We will continue to provide tax relief so that Canadians can keep more of their hard-earned dollars and invest in the economy."
Claiming these credits by filing online and using direct deposit will, in most cases, help individuals receive a refund in as little as eight days, compared to four to six weeks for a paper return.
The Harper Government has introduced or improved a number of tax relief measures for Canadians, including:
"Our Government is proud of the tax relief we have put in place over the last number of years to reduce the tax burden on Canadians families and businesses," said Minister Shea. "We encourage all Canadians to claim the credits to which they are entitled when they file their 2012 taxes."
As a direct result of the Harper Government's strong record of providing tax relief to Canadians, the average family of four now receives more than $3,100 in extra tax savings. The federal tax burden for all Canadians is now the lowest it has been in half a century.
