The public’s knowledge gap on taxes leads to higher rates of tax avoidance, undermines trust in the government, and causes lower use of social programs, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. The report entitled The Knowledge Deficit about Taxes: Who It Affects and What to Do About It, by Antoine Genest-Grégoire, Luc Godbout, and Jean-Herman Guay, surveys Quebecers on their “tax literacy” and offers practical advice on how to close the knowledge gap.
