Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced a series of tax deferment and rebate initiatives totalling $11 billion to mitigate the impact of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The government is postponing certain provincially administered taxes for a period of six months—from April 1 to Oct. 1, Ford announced in an April 7 press release. He said the move will support around 80,000 Ontario businesses.
