This podcast with host Kim G C Moody and guest Jack Mintz discuss the need for comprehensive tax reform in Canada. Mintz outlines the history of tax reform efforts in Canada, including the Carter report and the Mintz committee's recommendations in the 1990s. He argues that since then, Canada has implemented piecemeal changes that have increased tax system complexity and distortions, rather than undertaking meaningful reform. Mintz suggests Canada should look to models like Estonia's tax system as an alternative to the incremental approach, in order to simplify the tax code and improve economic competitiveness, as Canada has fallen behind the U.S. in GDP per capita.
