Automatic tax filing is long-overdue. Yet tax filing giants have been investing in major lobbying efforts to block it. It would put billions in unpaid benefits in the hands of low-income Canadians and greatly improve accessibility. We need our government to make this happen, once and for all.
🚨NEW REPORT:
Our new report, along with our friends at BC Policy Solutions, estimates wealth concentration in Canada from 1999-2023. We find that the share of wealth owned by the top 1% increased from 19.3% to 22.7% over this period.

The wealthiest 1% of families in Canada owned 22.7% of wealth in 2023, up from 19.3% in 1999, seeing a total increase of $3 trillion over that period.

Wealth inequality is a growing issue in Canada and our tax system must be overhauled to tax high-end wealth and capital income more effectively in order to benefit the public good, shows a new report by Silas Xuereb & Alex Hemingway
Our friends @c4tf.bsky.social have a new report examining the true levels of wealth inequality in Canada, and it's impact on our democracy.
One shocking stat: billionaire wealth grew 37.2% between 2023 and 2025 while total household wealth only grew 9.3%.

Wealth concentration in Canada is problem - @c4tf.bsky.social has a new report out on exactly how much of a problem and what we should do about it: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...
After 25 years of extreme wealth concentration, the top 1% own 23% of the wealth—up $3 trillion.
Our new report w/ @bcpolicy.bsky.social sounds the alarm: to protect our democracy & sovereignty, we need to stop our slide into US-style oligarchy.

Excellent interview! @taxjustice.net @theguardian.com 💥💥
In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.

Canada should be addressing tax havens - oped from @c4tf.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Our latest report on tax havens exposes how the ultra-rich are hiding hundreds of billions in tax shelters - with help from our government. 🌴💸 Check out our op-ed in today's Globe & Mail! www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com... And send a message to Ottawa to end tax havens here: bit.ly/C4TFhavens 💫
Tell your MP to shut down tax havens and bring our tax dollars home!

Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havens—and billions more from other tax loopholes—could save us from 15% or more in cuts to the CBC, VIA Rail, StatsCan, museums, and other public services.
It can also help reverse deepening wealth and income inequality. Pass it on 📣

📢 Big corporations & the ultra-rich are hiding $682B in tax havens, while everyday Canadians are left holding the bag. That’s a 165% increase since 2014.

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.
After decades of international cooperation and the domestic implementation of a global minimum corporate tax, the use of tax havens must be declining, right?
Actually, our new report finds Canadian assets in tax havens hit a record $682B in 2024, up 165% from 2014 www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...
The super rich have tons of tax advantages available to them, and yet...
They're still choosing to steal billions every year according to a new report from @c4tf.bsky.social
These people aren't patriots. They don't care about our economy, democracy, or country.

Great piece in @macleans.bsky.social from the newest #TaxTheRich kids on the block, @patmillscanada.bsky.social! 💫
Carney may have dropped his elbows but the rest of us need to keep them up. If you want to support fair taxation initiatives, give Canadians for Tax Fairness @c4tf.bsky.social a follow.
