The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CCA) has put a lot of pressure on the CRA in recent years to end what it calls the “Driver Inc.” employment model. The ACC denounces that carriers will use this model even more, if nothing is done on the CRA side, in order to remain competitive. We remind you that, as a general rule, it is the “built-in employee” who has the most to lose in such a model. The CCA also planned to mount an advertising and awareness campaign targeting employers in the trucking industry in this regard.
Towards the end of 2019, the Association du camionnage du Québec (ACQ) made a media outlet to once again denounce this employment model, which has recently been on the rise. According to figures published by the ACQ, the savings in withholding taxes and various social benefits can reach 30% to 40% for a company that uses this scheme when the driver could be subject to the concept of EPSP.
