The distribution of federal/provincial taxes and transfers in rural Canada / by Brian B. Murphy.: CS11-0019/41E-PDF
"Despite the lack of specific consideration of rurality in the tax-transfer system, the 1990 tax-transfer system actually imposes lighter tax burdens and significantly more cash transfers to rural residents than to urban residents mainly because of federal programs. With the exception of social assistance, rural Canadians as a group receive higher transfers in every transfer category, especially unemployment insurance and payments for children. Provincial tax and transfer programs, despite their formal relationship to federal taxes, tend to impose a much more consistent burden across urbanization class because they have a higher proportion of regressive commodity taxes."--Abstract.
