 To pay for the government!  To help the government pay for the services it provides to its’ citizens, such as: health care roads & highways Employment Insurance Environmental Controls Canada Pension Plan Old Age Security Education (universities, colleges, K-12 education) Crown Corporations (Canada Post, National Film Board, etc) Universal Child Care Benefit Immigration Services Military RCMP National Security (border patrols, passport offices, etc) Resource Conservation Social Services (child protection, affordable housing)

 In Canada, the federal, provincial, and local government levels ALL collect taxes from citizens in a variety of different forms.  Federal Taxes: GST, income tax  Provincial Taxes: Alberta tax  Local Taxes: property tax

 In Canada, the federal government transfer some of the taxes it receives from Canadians to the provinces of Canada, based on their level of need.  In Canada, these transfers include the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer. These funds go towards social programs.

 Every country and political party has different ideas on what types of taxes to collect, as well as how to spend those tax dollars within their country.  The money a country has to spend from taxes is called a tax base.  In all countries, it’s against the law to NOT pay taxes. If you don’t, you can go to jail for tax evasion.

 People who do not pay the taxes required by law are considered to be part of the ‘underground’ economy.  Why is it called ‘underground’?  Another term for the underground economy is the black market.

 How does tax evasion affect law-abiding Canadians?  If Canadians fail to pay taxes as required, less money is available to governments to support social programs as well as to assist other programs.  How is the quality of life of Canadians affected?
