Government red tape and regulations are one of the biggest headaches for CFIB members, second only to taxes. This is why CFIB works tirelessly with the various levels of government to reduce the regulatory burden faced by smaller businesses.

As such, here are two important victories for small business:

• The Quick Method of Accounting for GST/HST can help reduce the time and efforts spent on GST/HST compliance;
