CARP Income Trust Survey
The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is hosting an ongoing Decima Research survey on their website concerning income trusts. As of November 8, the total number of submissions received is 638. The survey asked the following two questions. Here are the responses:
1. Did the federal government's announced changes to the tax treatment of income trusts affect your financial situation for the better, for the worse or did it not really affect your financial situation at all?
A. For the better ( 9.7%)
B. For the worse ( 45.1%)
C. Didn't affect my situation at all ( 45.1%)
2. Some feel the federal government did the right thing for the future health of the Canadian economy and the fairness of the tax system. Others think the government did the wrong thing because they broke a promise and caused lots of investors to lose money. Which is closer to your view?
A. The federal government did the right thing for the future health of the Canadian economy and the fairness of the tax system. ( 52.7%)
B. The government did the wrong thing because they broke a promise and caused lots of investors to lose money. ( 47.3%)
Will the 45.1% of pensioners who have been negatively impacted by the Conservative government vote Conservative in the next federal election?
