(Drummondville) There is also something for SMEs in the $41 billion in promises made by the Quebec Liberal Party over five years. Dominique Anglade offers them two billion in financial relief.

Liberal leader Dominique Anglade justified Sunday the filing of a deficit financial framework by pleading the urgency of responding to the crisis of inflation and the shortage of labor. According to her, the State must assume a greater burden in order to bring relief to those who are hit by this crisis.
Dominique Anglade promises to expand access to the Small Business Deduction (DPE), which allows you to be entitled to a lower tax rate (3.2% instead of 11.5%). “There is a deep injustice in the current system,” she said, noting that companies with fewer than five employees do not have access to this deduction. “We are correcting an error which means that these companies do not pay 3.2%, but 11.5%”. Some 25,000 businesses and self-employed workers could benefit from this measure, according to the Liberal Party. This would be at a cost of 1650 billion in five years (550 million per year in the long term).
A Liberal government would reduce the corporate contribution rate for the Health and Social Services Fund. This contribution is calculated on the basis of the payroll. The measure would cost 200 million in five years.
The PLQ also undertakes to “promote regulatory relief” by enshrining in a law the obligation to respect “the 1: 1 rule”. “According to this principle, each new administrative formality must, at the same time, be accompanied by the abolition of another existing administrative formality whose cost for businesses is equivalent,” maintains the PLQ in its electoral platform.
Dominique Anglade makes his announcement at the premises of Le BockAle microbrewery in Drummondville. She then went to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to visit a business. She ends the day in Châteauguay for a dinner with volunteers.
