VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Those cuts to taxes and MSP premiums are music to the ears of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“I did a happy dance when I saw the news!” says the federation’s BC Director Jordan Bateman, who’s been fighting for an end to MSP premiums for a very long time.
“The MSP system is so unfair, so regressive, so antiquated that you really have to address that one first and get rid of it.”
As if that weren’t enough, there’s also a point 5 percent cut to the income tax rate for small businesses.
Businesses will also see their PST on electricity cut in half in October, then eliminated completely in 2019.
