The small business tax reduction is a good start, but we are calling on the province to continue helping small firms deal with soaring costs and significant economic uncertainty! Quotation mark

Dear Premier

CC: My Member of Parliament

The cost of doing business has skyrocketed! After years of dealing with pandemic-related issues and uncertainties, my business continues to be bogged down with inflation, supply chain challenges, and a heavy tax/regulatory burden.

All I want is to be able to afford to run a profitable business in this province!

To help me offset the increased costs of doing business in Saskatchewan and keep my business competitive, I am calling on your government to:

  • Eliminate the PST on commercial property insurance to help with skyrocketing insurance costs.
  • Exempt all capital expenditures, including machinery & equipment, from the PST.
  • Increase the small business corporate income tax threshold from $600,000 to $700,000.
  • Introduce a securing small business rebate program (like in B.C.) to provide small businesses with funding for increased costs due to crime and vandalism.

Doing business in Saskatchewan needs to be more affordable.

Help set me up for success!
