What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

David Eby announced plans to raise the marginal tax rate on the top two tax brackets by two points if re-elected. These changes would set the tax rate at 18.8 per cent for earnings between $190,405 and $265,545, 22.5 per cent between $265,545 and $1 million, and 24.5 per cent for earnings over $1 million. Eby estimates these tax code changes would provide an extra $1 billion to the provincial government each year. The NDP also previously promised to extend the vacancy and speculation tax to empty condos unsold for over a year.
