Alberta is the only Canadian province without a sales tax, and lawmakers have all but ignored this potential stimulus for an increasingly strained local economy. In A Sales Tax for Alberta, regional and national policy experts map out how and why a provincial sales tax should be implemented. Drawing on legal, historical, and sociological analysis, the authors build a strong case for the unique effectiveness of a sales tax compared with other revenue sources. An influx of funds, this book argues, could drive widespread improvements in the region--from long-term fiscal stability to a renewed confidence in democracy itself.

Paperback. Etat : New. The days of buoyant capital investment, jobs, and wealth are passing Alberta by as the boom-and-bust cycle runs its course and the global climate crisis becomes more acute. As the province scrambles to boost the dying oil economy and curb spending, one solution is all but ignored - a sales tax. In this collection, Alberta scholars and policy experts map out why and how a provincial sales tax should and can be implemented.Drawing on policy analysis, recent history, personal experiences, and conversations with Albertans, former politicians, and senior public servants, contributors build a decisive case for why a sales tax is a more efficient tax than corporate or personal income taxes. They examine energy revenues, household incomes, and political support as well as opportunities for improving democracy and reducing the volatility of government revenues. Finally, this volume offers recommendations on structuring a consultative review process to improve Alberta's long-term fiscal sustainability. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781771992978
