Tax Credit In Canada

According to this article the gap in college has become larger as of late because of students financial situations. Public universities cost on average one forth of private universities. The wealthier students benefit from this because of the way financial aid operates. When the tuition cost are raised it benefits the poorer students

Many European countries have offered free university education to encourage qualified students to apply for higher education. Rather than collecting tuition fees from students, these universities are being funded through taxation and charitable organizations. However, the result is not completely what the government has expected. The increasing number of enrollments has made job market very competitive, and many university graduates end up unemployed or underemployed. Moreover, universities are focusing more on the quantity instead of quality of education, which made the value of university degree shrink substantially. Taxpayers complain using the tax payments to subsidize only the students who want to attend universities is not fair, as university education is only one of the many choices for students who graduates from high school and students may have different goals. Currently in Canada, we are having more university graduates than the economy can absorb. If tuition becomes free, more students will be attending universities. However, if the number of jobs created does not match the increase in university graduates, the rising unemployment rate can trigger even more social issues.

Under Canadian Tax Law, there is an election for companies to defer recaptures and capital gains of property that was involuntarily or voluntarily disposed of. In this research paper, we attempt to prove that the election is a useful taxation strategy for businesses so that they are not subject to pay taxes on capital gains or recaptures until such a time where they may acquire an eligible replacement property that will help them earn business income. We will provide facts, definitions, and examples to illustrate the use of this election throughout the paper by explaining the capital cost allowance system, the offset available to business for capital gains and recaptures, the election process, the rules regarding replacing former business

College tuition has been an increasingly intense topic of discussion over the years. The costs of higher education have been debated by many people, and it has been discussed as to whether costs are becoming too high for students to afford. College has become more and more popular, and now as many as 20 million students attend universities reported by The National Center for Education Statistics (1). The value of a college degree is immense, but college tuition is becoming too expensive for students to afford, and furthering the problem are students’ lack of knowledge on how to pay and earn money towards their college degree.

If the education system relies most of their funding from taxes, where do they end up getting the rest of the money. The government and administration grant more money to wealthier areas than low -income areas. Wealthier communities are granted more money because they have a higher percentage of funding coming from property taxes. This leaves the low-income students at a disadvantage. People living in low income areas mainly rent and don’t own their own property. As a result of not having a house or owning property, they have little property taxes. If low -income students are not given enough money for funding a school, the students are suffering. With the lack of money causes students to miss out on college prep classes such as AP classes and Honors classes. These classes are pivotal to the students that want to pursue higher education and a road to success. For example students in the low-income areas are given a poor education. They are not given the resources, or quality teachers in order to achieve success. According to George Miller House Education and the Workforce committee, many students are not educationally ready to graduate and attend higher education (Minority 1). This is another reason why low income students should be provided the same classes as a middle class or a wealthier community. In a study, 2 million students in 7,300 schools had no access to all calculus classes, a staple in many high – achieving high schools (Minority 2). Low-income

The trend continues with the skyrocketing prices of college tuitions. This is not an uncommon issue the days of college tuition being affordable are slowly fading into the past. This conundrum has brought to light the idea of using tax money to help pay tuition. This idea has vast potential, but can it reach its potential.

How can students and families make the best use of this important education program and avoid common tax return mistakes when claiming tax credit under the American Opportunity Tax Credit as outline by the Tax Code.

Within the United States, there is an unequal collection and distribution of resources. The current unequal or socially unjust tax system is a direct contrast to the social justice theories of John Rawls. The taxation discrepancy has ramifications on many important aspects of our society, such as health care, employment, old age security, and education. These issues affect everyone in our society, regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Thorough more equal taxation, we have the potential to create a more society as a whole.

Although financial barriers to accessing PSE are not particular to immigrants, some studies indicated that immigrants with low socio-economic status may overestimate the cost of PSE. A study on structural challenges that immigrants in Canada face in accessing PSE notes that while Canadians in general overestimate the cost of university tuition by approximately $1,000, those from low-income backgrounds overestimate it by approximately $3,000. In addition, low-income individuals underestimate the average annual income differences between high school and university graduates. It notes that, as part of the low-income population, refugees and low socio-economic immigrant are likely to perceive that the cost of higher education outweighs the benefits, and therefore be deterred by high tuition costs. In addition, low-income families tend to reside in neighborhoods that are troubled with gangs and violence. The study notes that teachers in the low-income neighborhoods also tend to be less qualified.

The various demands mentioned above by the Fight the Fees movement have been supported with multiple arguments that have been explicitly mentioned within their website. The primary, most obvious justification for their demands would be the simple fact that Ontario constitutes the highest tuition rates in all of Canada, as the current framework allows tuition for domestic students to increase approximately three to five percent annually (Canadian Federation of Students, 2016). This argument then leads to the discrimination this creates towards students of middle-low income households that are simply unable to afford such high rates. Racism is another issue that is brought up within this dilemma because it is argued that those who come from racialized or marginalized groups are at greater risk of facing such realities of financial instability. The group specifically refers to visible minorities and indigenous communities and the struggles they face within the current white supremacist and racist Canadian society we live in. Furthermore, the Fight the Fees movement also advocates on behalf of

In the 1980s a first-year college student could attend a public four-year university for $2,500 and a private university for a little over $5,000. Although, most of these universities are offering the same mediocre education from the last three decades; the cost of tuition has more than tripled for public universities and for private universities, it has gone up a staggering 85%. Canada holds an average educational cost of 5,974 and England follows with an estimated average cost of 5,288. In spite the tuition in the United States being more than twice that of its allies; the main problem contributing to the continuing rise of tuition are the billions of dollars owed in both federal and private student loans. Unfortunately, out of 15 countries the United States held the number one position when it came down to the cost of a higher education (including books, fees, room and board).With that being said, I will thoroughly explain in the following essay how student loans have affected the cost of tuition, compare US tuition to other countries, and analyze the average spending budget for most universities that prove to influence the rise in tuition.

As it is said that,”Nothing is free in life” it also remains true with college tuition, one of the biggest argument against a free college is the fact that the 6000$ per year fee for college would just be turned into taxes and now instead of just those few who want to get post-secondary study everyone will have to pay for it. Unfortunately that is true and the rise in taxes would be tremendous increase. But again neither is FREE healthcare free and everyone seems to be liking it even though an average person only makes about 7 visits to doctor per year.Another common argument against free college is that it would be just like high school where students just don't care about studies or their grades but thousands of students throughout Alberta would be glad that they don't have to pay around 20,000$ for a college degree.

In general, education cost money, but the idea of free education is that the cost is not directly incurred by those benefiting from it. Put simply, on average graduates earn more than non-graduates, the amount they pay in general taxation will me more than those who do not attend university. A successful graduates’ contribution to their education cost increase at the same time as a contribution as a taxpayer. This is shown, a double-blow
