On April 23, 2015 Finance Minister Charles Sousa tabled his third Budget. The deficit for the 2015 – 16 fiscal year is projected to be $ 8.5 billion, which is less than had been forecasted in the 2014 Budget. The deficit is projected to drop to $4.8 billion for 2016 – 17 and to be eliminated by 2017 – 18.
Unlike the 2014 Budget, the 2015 Budget does not comment on achieving a surplus. The Budget does not include any changes to Ontario’s tax rates for individuals or corporations.

It is proposing to eliminate the Sound Recording Tax Credit. Read More
