RSM Canada, the leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, issued the following perspective for Canada’s middle market businesses following today’s much-anticipated Budget 2019.
“Canadian middle market companies were hoping that Budget 2019 would have meaningful measures to support growth and global competitiveness,” said Maria Severino, national tax leader, RSM Canada. “Although Finance included some positive, targeted tax measures to support Canadian businesses, it deferred introducing any broad-based changes that could enhance competitiveness and reduce uncertainty.”
Some key takeaways from Budget 2019 are:
A focus on innovation and equipping Canadians
Falling short on global competitiveness
Uncertainty for middle market companies and their stakeholders
Middle market companies will be looking for further details and clarity. It remains to be seen what the implications of any future proposals will be to middle market companies and their stakeholders. In the interim, until details on any new measures are released by Finance, middle market companies are faced with uncertainty as they plan their affairs.
