Business Taxation Newfoundland and Labrador has one of the most favourable business tax climates in Canada. Our Corporate Income Tax rates are amongst the lowest in the country. The Harmonized Sales Tax has resulted in the removal of tax on business inputs. Unlike many provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador does not impose a general capital tax. While Newfoundland and Labrador imposes a 2% payroll tax, the exemption threshold relieves virtually all small businesses from this tax. A number of credits and incentives are designed to encourage economic growth in strategic areas. Types of Business Taxes
