Canadian Dental and Health Benefits Will Not be Taxed

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that he will not enact a tax on health and dental benefits, after days of refusing to rule out the option.

“We are committed to protecting the middle class from increased taxes and that is why we will not be raising [those] taxes,” he said during question period.

Earlier Wednesday, the Liberals wouldn’t say whether they intended to tax employer-sponsored health and dental benefits as a means to increase revenue while the government runs deficits.
