Taxes and Regulations
At the Burnaby Board of Trade, we proudly stand as the top advocate for equitable, transparent, and fair tax policies that help local businesses not just survive, but thrive. We understand the challenges that come with being a small fish in a big pond, whether you're navigating the complexities of local markets or competing on a global scale. That's why we work tirelessly to level the playing field.
We’re committed to making sure businesses in our community have a fair shot at success. By collaborating closely with all levels of government, we push for tax policies that are clear, fair, and supportive of growth—policies that allow you to focus on what matters most: running your business. Our advocacy efforts ensure that your concerns are heard and your interests are at the forefront of economic discussions, so you can compete with confidence and thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
