Tax co operatives and save yourselves $50 says I T P A

The ITPA claims co operatives should be taxed like other businesses, but experts and editors dispute the figures. Professor McDougall told a Senate committee that exemptions for large bodies like crown corporations and hydro systems are vast, with estimates ranging from 100 to 125 million dollars, a claim the text deems weak and misleading. The piece argues the ITPA aims to protect business interests, not taxpayer equity, and would harm cooperatives and public utilities through proposed taxation shifts, warning readers of its underlying motives.
