Doing Business in the GTAThe Greater Toronto Area (GTA) economy is dominated by free market activities and private enterprise. As a result, it is relatively easy to commence or expand business activities in the GTA. The GTA is Canada's undisputed business and manufacturing capital and the sixth largest region in North America. It has the lowest business costs and most generous R & D tax treatment among the G8 countries. (KPMG Global Cost Competitive Study, 2006). The economic strength and dominance of the Region is clearly reflected in the number of corporate headquarters here: 9 out of Canada's 10 top law firms - 9 out of the top 10 accounting groups and 85% of the foreign, and Canada's top 5 banks and the second largest automotive centre in North America.
