Summary
This bill implements a number of items from the 2007 budget that weren't included in the Budget Implementation Act. The key highlight is the re-writing of GST legislation. It also brings in many corporate and small-business tax breaks, as well as funding public transit and other initiatives. There is also an increase to the basic personal amount claimed on your taxes. The full summary, for once, is written in almost-plain language and can be found here.
