The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is applauding the federal government's decision to lift the T4A enforcement moratorium, a key commitment from Budget 2025 aimed at curbing tax evasion linked to the Driver Inc. and PSB-model schemes. Beginning with the 2025 tax year, trucking businesses must report service payments over $500 on T4A slips, strengthening oversight and restoring fairness for compliant fleets.

CTA leaders say this measure, along with a new CRA enforcement team will help eliminate underground practices that disadvantage law-abiding carriers and undermine Canada’s supply chain.

The Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) welcomes the 2025 federal budget as a major step toward ending the Driver Inc. misclassification scheme, which has long undermined safety, fairness, and compliance in the trucking industry. The budget introduces new funding, restores T4A enforcement, strengthens collaboration between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and establishes misclassification as a core federal enforcement priority.

With recent inspection blitzes revealing widespread non-compliance across Canada, Alberta has emerged as a leader in enforcement through coordinated efforts between provincial and federal agencies. AMTA will continue to support this transition by working with government partners to expand inspections, promote compliant employment practices, and provide industry guidance on new regulations and enforcement standards.

Bison Transport driver Darrin Gillmore has been recognized for his remarkable bravery after stopping to help victims of a tragic collision near Sintaluta, Saskatchewan.
