Initial Results of GST Reduction Analysis

The following is one of the analyses from the project that I have been working on lately. It shows what the GST cut, from 7% to 6%, will do to households, for the year 2007, in various income ranges.

Other policies that I will be putting into the mix are:

- Change in the lowest income tax rate
- Change in Basic Personal Exemption Amount
- Canada Employment Credit

Results are generated by simulations, using the SPSD/M (Release 14.1).
