The Issue

The current tax system places an undue burden on young adults under 25, many of whom are just starting out and lack substantial income. More often than not, these individuals do not have the resources or knowledge to efficiently file their taxes or claim for any expenses. According to a study by the Brookings Institution, young adults aged 18-24 are the group most likely to be living in poverty, making the need for tax reforms even more crucial (Brookings Institution Study on Youth Poverty). This petition calls on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to implement a tax exemption policy for individuals under 25. This change would alleviate a significant burden for our youth, who contribute much more to society than just taxable income. By removing this obligation, we can help ensure the success of our future generation. We urge the CRA to consider this essential change, to support the financial health and stability of our nation's youth. Please sign this petition to support tax exemptions for Canadians under 25.
