Abstract

Taxation and education spending are major concerns in Ontario’s municipalities, as these categories expose a threat to businesses and the education system. Local businesses face problems such as, municipal by-laws, permits and zoning regulations. The education tax system creates issues as the quality of education is below the national standard. There are possible solutions through assessing the economic issues that taxation inflicts and delegating the decision making process from the upper levels to those on the frontline.
