Public Accounts committee  Ninety per cent is returned through the climate action incentive program, approximately, and the remaining 10% is returned through other mechanisms.

Public Accounts committee  Unfortunately, Madam Chair, I don't have the numbers with me at the moment, but the reality is that the majority of households receive more back than the incidence.... Now, as the question accurately notes, I mean, it depends entirely on the expenditures of a particular household

Public Accounts committee  The way the fuel charge works is that it is applied at the fuel distribution level, so it's built into prices. To the extent that the product being bought is subject to GST, then GST will apply on that product.

Public Accounts committee  I think the question depends on whether or not more GST is collected in aggregate, given that obviously expenditure patterns change. But the GST isn't calculated into the climate action incentive payment, no.

Public Accounts committee  That's correct. The incidence is calculated both by the direct and indirect impacts on houses, but of course the climate action payment is an definitive amount. And to the extent that businesses pay the GST, they would receive an input tax credit, of course.

Public Accounts committee  Yes. Thank you for the question, Madam Chair. If I understand the question correctly—and let me state my understanding of it—it's that where the federal backstop applies, the fuel charge, revenues are raised in a particular province, and the approach there is that approximately

Finance committee  I will perhaps begin my answer, since the GST arrangement has come up a number of times, by drawing a distinction between that and what is proposed here. Under the administration of the GST, the administration is a harmonized system. There is an agreement between the two levels o

Finance committee  Well, I can't really say what would be in the agreement, which would have to be negotiated, but any type of agreement has some kind of termination clause in it. I think you'd have to consider what.... If indeed there was an agreement that was operationalized and then terminated a

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for inviting me to speak to private member’s Bill C-224. I am pleased to be here. Bill C-224 proposes to authorize the Minister of Finance to enter into an agreement with the government of a province under which the government of the province wo

Finance committee  I think the essence of the problem is it's neither domestic nor international, but there is value created in Canada that isn't necessarily created by entities with physical presence in Canada, and that's really the nub of the problem in terms of both the allocation of tax revenue

Finance committee  Perhaps I'll start with the second question and ask colleagues to respond to the rest. The CRA publishes data on the wage subsidy on, I think, a weekly basis, and clearly many firms and, as I think the minister mentioned, up to four million employees have been supported, or jobs

Finance committee  Perhaps I'll answer that, Mr. Chair.

Finance committee  Clearly, the digitization of the economy poses challenges for the tax system, and as I'm sure you saw in the fall economic statement, there were three measures proposed in that statement to address some of the sales tax challenges of digital goods and services of non-resident, no

Finance committee  It is a policy question. I'll note the question. In terms of clarification, I think the exemption from the fuel charge applies to fuel used in farm machinery, which is typically oil and diesel.

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. The department does all kinds of analyses all the time, but in terms of costing particular models, I'm not aware that we have costed any specific model. Of course, the revenue implications of any particular policy depend very much on the design of tha
