Canadians and businesses are critical of the country’s tax system, calling it confusing, unfair, and overly taxing, according to a survey commissioned by the Canada Revenue Agency.

“Impressions of Canada’s tax system focused on its complexity, lack of fairness, and rates of taxation, which were characterized as high,” said the report, 2023-2024 conducted by Phoenix Strategic Perspectives for the CRA.
