I was using the 2006 statistics from Gov. B.C. Stats to prepare a report of the costs on a per capita basis for the City where I live, (VERNON) for hospital charges to the municipal taxpayer on their property tax bill.When I sorted the Cities in B.C. from lowest to highest you can imagined my surprise when I discovered that the lower mainland cities had no costs charged for hospital. While the rest of the cities ponied up almost $67 million cities as shown in table below pay nothing.
Could you please confirm that as a property tax holder in Vernon I have the distinct pleasure of helping the province to pay for hospital capital equipment costs (at a 40% rate I believe) through my property taxes and I can look forward to helping to pay for the hospitals in the larger lower mainland cities through my Provincial Income taxes?Is this what we in the HEARTLAND refer to as another Sunshine Tax?
