Canadians think higher business taxes in Canada than the US will harm jobs and investment; most favour matching US rates (Means and Ways at Compass Rose/Nanos)

The research gauged the opinions among Canadians on the impact of business tax rates in Canada compared to those in the United States. The aim is to understand public sentiment on whether Canadian business taxes should be higher, lower, or similar to those in the U.S. Additionally, it explores perceived economic impacts associated with different tax rate scenarios.

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,035 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between July 29th to August 1st, 2024 as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online.

The margin of error for this survey is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The research was commissioned by Means and Ways at Compass Rose and was conducted by Nanos Research.
