Eby Promises $1,000 Annual Tax Cut for Over 90% of British Columbians
NDP leader's proposal offers immediate relief, contrasting with Conservative's delayed housing tax plan.
- David Eby, leader of the NDP, announced a tax relief plan that will benefit more than 90% of British Columbians if elected.
- The plan includes an annual tax cut of $1,000 for the average family, starting next year.
- Individuals will see $10,000 of their income exempted from provincial taxes, reducing taxes by over $500.
- Eby's proposal contrasts with Conservative Leader John Rustad's plan, which offers tax relief for housing costs starting in 2026.
- Rustad's 'Rustad Rebate' will not provide full benefits until 2029, whereas Eby's plan offers immediate financial relief.
