AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoBudget 2026: Ottawa is offering a capital-gains exemption of up to $15 million on eligible Canadian company shares, an enhanced small-business rollover and faster write-offs for some business investments. But small-business groups say the budget missed the mark: it offers no small-business tax-rate cut or increase to the small-business deduction threshold, and tariff-support programs requiring at least $1 million in annual revenue leave many smaller firms out. Trade outlook: Ontario business groups see a modest, fragile improvement in trade prospects after the U.S. midterms, but tariff-hit craft brewers remain under pressure. Owner finances and taxes: A new report says 53% of self-employed Canadians used credit to cover everyday expenses. Budget 2026 also sets May 15 as the filing and payment deadline for individual tax returns, including those of self-employed Canadians.
