6. INSTITUTIO
NAL
INVESTORS
• What are institutional investors?
• An institutional investor is a nonbank person or
organization that trades securities in large enough
share quantities or dollar amounts that it qualifies
for preferential treatment and lower commissions.
Institutional investors face fewer protective
regulations because it is assumed they are more
knowledgeable and better able to protect
themselves. Examples of institutional
investors include pension funds and life
insurance companies.
• An institutional investor is an organization that
invests on behalf of its members. Examples
include endowment funds, commercial banks,
mutual funds and hedge funds.

their home country by engaging in
tax inversions (moving operations)
or by migrating intangibles to lower
tax jurisdictions. – Source -

12. TAX
AVOIDANCE
DEFINITION
Tax avoidance is the use of legal
methods to modify an individual's
financial situation to lower the amount of
income tax owed. This is generally
accomplished by claiming the
permissible deductions and credits. This
practice differs from tax evasion, which
uses illegal methods, such as
underreporting income to avoid paying
taxes.

14. BLOG –
CORPORATE
TAX
• Douglas Gray No it does not! Oil
pays their taxes and gets their
tax deduction. Clean Tech gets
R&D and/other deductions like
Oil and Gas. Clean Tech loses
money which means they do not
pay corporate taxation as there
is no taxable income.

24. WHAT IS REQUIRED
• All governments need to put more focus on economic development.
• The Income Tax act needs to be overhauled
• Expansion of tax treaties and better enforcement of BEPS
• CRA is struggling with both moneys and resources - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tax-debt-liberal-budget-collections-
1.4715967 or https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cra-tax-avoidance-evasion-1.4787781
• More is required to eliminate tax havens and/or profit shifting. BEPS was a good first start -
https://www.dwpv.com/en/Insights/Publications/2019/US-Regulations-Target-Hybrid-Structures
• Majority of the taxes collected are from payroll taxes. The private sector plays a vital role in the collection of taxes.
• Carbon taxation are regressive tax and do nothing for the environment -
• Governments need to focus on the delivery of their program spending via value for money and/or activity-based costing
models.
• Governments need to stop thinking you can tax people to prosperity.
