| M-471 — November 30, 2009 — Mrs. Jennings (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine) — That, in the opinion of the House, the Minister of National Revenue should consult with self-employed workers and other stakeholders on possible amendments to current regulatory and legislative policies, including the interpretation bulletins published by the Canada Revenue Agency, that require self-employed workers to be taxed at a higher rate than small businesses, specifically, the Minister should examine the possibility of: (a) amending subsection 125(7) of the Income Tax Act to include a provision under which a business would not be defined as a “personal services business” if there were a clear “supplier-client” service contract in effect rather than an “employee-employer” contract, regardless of the number of workers employed by the supplier; (b) to amend the Income Tax Act to define a “supplier-client” service contract as one that (i) describes the specific deliverables that the supplier is to provide to the client and stipulates that under no circumstances do the parties intend to establish an employer-employee relationship, (ii) stipulates that neither party may have access to benefits provided by the other’s human resources unit, including employee benefits, promotions, training, and career planning; (c) to amend the Income Tax Act to establish a separate tax rate for self-employed workers equal to the tax rate for small businesses; (d) to amend the Income Tax Act and the relevant interpretation bulletins to establish clear and specific criteria for determining whether an individual is a self-employed worker or an employee of another company, with a view to preventing two self-employed workers in identical situations from being classified in different categories by the Minister of National Revenue; (e) to amend the Income Tax Act to include a provision requiring the Canada Revenue Agency to review simultaneously the circumstances of a self-employed worker and those of a business for which this worker is providing a service when the Agency is conducting an investigation to determine whether the self-employed worker is or is not acting under a “supplier-client” service contract or an “employer-employee” contract; and (f) to ensure that these and any other related amendments apply retroactively from 2002. |
