Story summary

Ontario matched the federal government's recent move to give businesses a tax break on capital investments, announced by Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy ahead of Thursday’s fall economic statement. Last year, Prime Minister Mark Carney allowed businesses to immediately deduct 100% of the cost for some investments like machinery and equipment, which covered about 15% of total capital costs. Carney recently updated this measure, allowing two-thirds of assets to qualify. Bethlenfalvy predicts Ontario’s new measures will provide approximately $8 billion in relief over the long term, attracting more businesses to the province and bringing Ontario's marginal effective tax rate down to 3.6%.
