    I’m not sure I follow. Are you suggesting all grocery stores should pay a fixed amount of taxes based on a preset number, independent of their earnings in a given month?

      Tax scales as a function of margin.

      Though, applying the supply management system to grocery stores would probably work too, good suggestion!

        How would this apply to a small, neighborhood grocer VS a large chain like Loblaws? If both are paying the exact same dollar amount, we’d be severely overtaxing one, or undertaxing the other.
