Be Pacific™ - Happy Diwali & Federal Budget 2026


Top takeaways from Canada's Federal Budget 2026:
​
​Investor / capitalist – a big win for founders:​
​~Each person can take up to $15M of gains tax-free per company (the Canada Growth Incentive). On a $15M exit, an Ontario founder keeps about 96% instead of 71%
~It also creates a $25B national sovereign wealth fund with a retail note product in 2027
​
​Industry / economy – strongly positive for capital-heavy firms:​
​~Most business equipment can now be written off in full in the year it’s bought, permanently. That cuts the tax rate on new investment from 13% to 6.4%, versus 16.9% in the US.
~The risks are carrying it out, and that the ~$500B in investment “commitments” is not money actually spent.
​
​Individual / consumer – modest, targeted relief:​
​~The main item is a one-time 50% top-up to the grocery benefit for 12M+ people. It also raises the low-income workers’ benefit and lifts deposit insurance to $250K.
~There is no broad income-tax cut, and the federal fuel tax relief is halved from Feb 1, 2027 and ends after Mar 31.
