    Default 20% PST on luxury vehicles in BC Effective April 1

    Wow, pretty crazy tax jump in BC. Wealth redistribution in full effect with their NDP government.

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...dget-1.4543976

    The tax on passengers vehicles with a purchase price between $125,000 and $149,000 is being increased to 15 per cent from 10 per cent.

    Vehicles with a purchase price of $150,000 and above will be taxed at 20 per cent up from 10 per cent.

    It's fucked up enough that they have to pay PST on private sales already, i wonder if this applies as well.

    Rich people are scum. Thier wealth was obviously obtained by oppressing the workers. Redistribute those ill gotten dollars, it's glorious!

    What a bunch of communist assholes! Fuck BC!

    How do they think they're going to pay for all of that? I'll tell you, tax the shit out of anyone or anything that makes more than minimum wage.

    $1250 a month for each kid, and free day care for lower income families. Why bother working? Just leach off the workers.

    Did you read the indigenous language thing?....

    There will also be $50 million in 2017/18 to revitalize Indigenous languages.
    What the fuck is that supposed to mean, and why would you try to revitalize an archaic language that has no purpose?

    Once everyone makes the same income, perfect equality leads to perfect harmony.

    Comrade ExtraSlow, I know your comment is is tongue in cheek but it baffles me that there are people in the great province of British Columbiastan that think this is a reasonable way to run a province and they don't get the joke.

    They should join up with New California and give tax breaks for electric vehicles... Of which I would immediately renounce Alberta and join the hippies.

    The property tax is pretty aggressive too, will be affecting AB millionaires that own vacation homes there but pay AB taxes. 2%, that's $20k for a million dollar home every year. A million doesn't buy much in Kelowna haha.

    This tax will also fuck over Chinese people living large in Vancouver full time while their husbands pay the bills overseas.

    I know someone moving to BC with young family. I can only assume they'll make certain income is low to capture this $1250/month.
    Hell, 2 kids and you can live pretty good. 4 kids and you be ballin'.

    I wonder if that money is on top of welfare payments.

    Would be worth it to divorce on paper to separate income individually and not as a family to qualify. One parent stay at home and get all the benefits, while other parent pays rent at a low enough rate to ensure the overall income doesn't pass said threshold.
