Conservatives Provide Tax Relief August 2008

Dear Constituent,

I hope your summer is going well. This month I just wanted to give you an update on what our government has been doing to relieve your tax burden.

We've reduced the income tax for low-income Canadians, we've introduced pension income splitting, and of course, we've lowered the GST for everyone.

I've also included some information below, if you're interested, about even more things our Conservative Government has done to reduce taxes.

Wishing you and your family all the best for the rest of the summer,

- Randy

Reducing Your Taxes
Tax Back Guarantee:
Our Conservative government's Tax Back Guarantee is a legislated commitment to dedicate all interest savings from federal debt reduction each year to income tax relief. It makes every Canadian benefit directly from federal debt reduction.

Tax-Free Savings Account:
Our Conservative government has introduced a new Tax-Free Savings Account - the single most important personal savings vehicle since the RRSP. You'll be able to set money aside, watch it grow, and use it for any purpose, all tax-free.
