A new approach to childcare tax breaks is needed in order to relieve the financial stress caused by the increasing costs of raising young children, finds a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In Tax Options for Childcare that Encourage Work, Flexibility, Choice, Fairness and Quality, authors Alexandre Laurin and Kevin Milligan recommend that moving towards a new refundable tax credit for childcare would generate the social benefits of increased labour-force participation, benefit lower-income parents, and allow for flexible and decentralized childcare choices.
