Here is the last of our three articles on capital gains taxation, focusing on estimated revenue and the contribution of the deceased. @lucgodbout.bsky.social
How much more tax will Ottawa levy—and how much will come from the deceased? Less than 1% of taxpayers declaring gains are deceased, yet they could generate 14–26% of additional tax revenues. Read @agenestgregoire.bsky.social & @lucgodbout.bsky.social"s full analysis: policyoptions.irpp.org?p=115070
How much more tax will Ottawa levy, and how much will come from the dead?
Deceased taxpayers represent less than one per cent of those declaring gains but could generate between 14 and 26 per cent of additional tax revenues.

They tend to have the highest earnings and are more likely to be older or even deceased men, with significant incomes outside of capital gains.
