     This week's tax news from the Americas

  • Canadian government introduces Federal Spring Economic Update 2026
    On 28 April 2026, the Canadian government introduced the Spring Economic Update 2026, which includes targeted tax measures affecting individuals and corporations but does not propose any new taxes or increases to personal or corporate income tax rates. For businesses, corporate income tax rates and the CA$500,000 small-business limit remain unchanged, while new incentives focus on clean economy measures, including the release of implementation details for an accelerated capital cost allowance for qualifying low-carbon liquefied natural gas facilities and expanded measures for the carbon capture, utilization and storage investment tax credit.
