With the rising cost of transportation, meals, clothing, and other work-related expenses, many Canadians are questioning whether the Canada Employment Credit, set at $1,501 for 2026, still reflects the real cost of earning employment income. Tax professionals, employers, and taxpayers continue to debate whether the credit should be increased, restructured, or replaced altogether. When our poll asked if the Canada Employment Credit should be increased, 87% said yes. Below are perspectives shared by tax and financial professionals across the country.
Now that the rush of tax season is over, how did your clients do? Were they faced with a big tax bill or did they receive a refund? Perhaps they feel as if they’ve had a less than stellar fiscal year, but they shouldn’t feel discouraged.

Working with George is his wife, brother, sister-in-law, a couple cousins and his teenaged daughter. While the business is going well, his marriage isn’t.
Imagine you have a client who is five or six years away from retirement, manages a small yet successful consulting firm with ten employees, and is married with two grown-up kids. He’s thought about retirement and the idea of finding a successor for his business, but overall, he’s been pretty non-committal.
