Thanks for the stuff on corporate taxes...... some of us pay just plain old taxes ....................................................................... Canadians Celebrate Tax Freedom Day On June 30 Canada's Tax Freedom Day, the day Canadians finally start working for themselves, came on June 30, according to the Fraser Institute. From the beginning of the year, Canadians worked until June 29 to pay the total tax bill imposed by federal, provincial or local governments in the form of numerous taxes, fees and levies. The date of Tax Freedom Day changes from year to year, reflecting changes in the tax burden. Provincial Tax Freedom Days show the variation in the tax burden among the provinces. This year, Tax Freedom Day falls five days earlier than in 1999. But it is still 58 days later than in 1961 -- the earliest year for which the calculation has been made -- when Tax Freedom Day was May 3. ....................................................... Tax Freedom Day America Celebrates Tax Freedom Day® America's Tax Freedom Day® Arrives April 26th in 2006, Three Days Later Than 2005 Tax Freedom Day® will fall on April 26 in 2006, according to the Tax Foundation’s annual calculation using the latest government data on income and taxes. (Click here to read the full study). “Tax freedom will come three days later in 2006 than it did in 2005,” said Tax Foundation President Scott A. Hodge, “and fully 10 days later than in 2003 and 2004 when a combination of slow income growth and tax cuts caused Tax Freedom Day to arrive comparatively early, on April 16.” However, 2006’s Tax Freedom Day is still considerably earlier than it was in 2000, when the economic boom, the tech bubble and higher tax rates pushed tax burdens to a record high, and Tax Freedom Day was postponed until May 3.
