INVESTMENTS MADE IN CANADA WILL DEFER CAPITAL GAINS TAX: CONSERVATIVES

Sunday’s policy announcement event from the Conservatives involves changes to the capital gains tax — individuals or businesses in Canada will be exempt from the tax if they invest in Canada.

“Companies that reinvest in active Canadian businesses will also defer any capital gains tax,” the Tory announcement read, adding that the gains will be taxed if they cash out or move their money outside the country.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney remains in the nation’s capital on Sunday — a visit to a constituent’s home and a meeting with volunteers.
