A new report from the C.D. Howe Institute sheds light on a growing issue within Canada’s auto insurance systems: Restrictive rate regulation can undermine the industry’s ability to respond to risk. In an era of increasing volatility – extreme weather, inflation, supply chain disruption – insurers need to be agile. Yet in provinces with stricter regulatory regimes, they are constrained from doing just that. In our latest #IBCINFocus, Trevor Foster, National Director, Policy, IBC, dives into the report and offers a path forward to help ensure Canada doesn’t fall further behind. https://lnkd.in/dhXw9Agn

Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption: Update from CRA Practitioners have told us that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been incorrectly assessing 2024 T1 returns where the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE) was claimed. We learned from the CRA that two errors had been corrected and that reassessments were scheduled to begin on June 10. However, practitioners have since reported that the CRA has not yet reassessed any of their affected clients. Today, the CRA informed us that there has been a delay, and reassessments are now expected to begin shortly: "There has been a delay in timelines previously communicated, but we expect to begin reassessing impacted returns shortly. This remains a high priority for the Agency."
