How this affects you
The Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates that governments are losing out on $5-billion each year from unpaid tax and benefit contributions due to 'Driver Inc.,' an underground trucking economy that emerged from this loophole. The CRA found independent drivers underpaid taxes by an average of $16,711 for the 2021 tax year, indicating billions in unpaid taxes over a decade.
