Budget changes criticized by life insurers in Canada
R L Kaylor of the Life Underwriters Association of Canada warns that the November 12 federal budget proposals will tax benefits not yet received and retroactively undo plans for retirement and death. He cites reduced policy bases, higher taxes on employer health and dental plans, and potential $600 yearly increases for a typical $20,000 income. The association plans a campaign to urge MPs to modify the proposals.
