The proposal lifts the rates on the two highest existing brackets by two percentage points and adds a new top bracket. Taxable income from $190,405 to $265,545 would be taxed at 18.8 per cent, up from 16.8 per cent.
Income from $265,545 to $1 million would move from 20.5 per cent to 22.5 per cent. Income above $1 million would face 24.5 per cent.
Each rate applies only within its bracket. Everyone keeps the current rates on their first $190,405. Daily Hive calculated that a taxpayer with $200,000 in taxable income would pay about $192 more a year.
Account made on Oct 6, 2026…HMMM…just in time for the election huh.
Misleading claims about how NDP ‘bankrupted the province’…sure, sure…16 years of BC lib/con cuts/crown corp guts and sales definitely can be undone in 9 years!..
Imagine living and working in a system that allows you to make so mich more money than you need. And then to be upset at paying less than 1% of it in extra taxes to maintain or improve that system.
‘Give me all of the benefits and non of the responsibility or Ill throw a hissyfit.’ is what it sounds like.
Without those taxes those costs start coming out of pocket to private companies like insurance or health providers or road tolls. Easily eating up the savings of not paying taxes, and then some.
You can afford it, but others can’t. Don’t be a dick. Thats un-Canadian.
What are you talking about? I pay a ridiculous amount of taxes. I believe last year I sent the CRA nearly $150k.
Accusations of not paying my fair share are contrarian nonsense. And for how much I get back, I certainly feel like I pay my share of the responsibility. Quite frankly, I think I get a bit ripped off. Is it any wonder I don’t want to pay ANOTHER 5k because Eby can’t keep it in his pants?
I’m sorry, 5k a year? When the legislation is actually taxing people that make 200k+ a year at an additional $192/year.
At $250,000 the increase would be about $1,192, and at $1.5 million about $36,192.
Your claim of 5k additional taxes, then you’re claiming you make about 440k/annual. So current take home is 20,700/month. After new legislation take home would be 20,300/month.
That type of salary puts you in the top 0.5% of income tax filers in Canada. You, allegedly, make more than 99.5% of tax filing Canadians and you don’t want to pay an extra $400/month in tax?
My friend, it’s not like it bring true even helps your argument. You’re not the victim. You’re the rich person who doesn’t want to marginally pay their fair share.
If you’re worried about that 400/month then you should skip your daily Starbucks matcha latte and avocado toast. Budgeting really helps.
New anonymous accounts spouting conservative rhetoric while saying they voted NDP in the past (all during elections) does not exactly instill trust in what you say.
I don’t expect you to agree with me. I’m merely explaining that this campaign promise of the NDPs has affected my vote.
And it’s so funny… my conservative friends call me a liberal shill. The (what appears to so far be somewhat of an intolerant) cesspool here claims I spout conservative rhetoric.
In reality, I’m a left leaning centrist who thinks he pays enough in taxes. I know, go figure.
And, in BC, raise the fuck out of my taxes. No thanks!
This tax raise?
Emphasis first:
https://businessexaminer.ca/real-estate/item/bc-ndp-proposes-higher-income-tax-above-190-405-to-raise-1-billion-a-year/
It would cost me about 5k a year if this tax hike was enacted.
Yes, I am a high income earner.
No, I don’t want to pay more in taxes.
Sure enough, the NDP bankrupted the province… I voted for them, but am not impressed.
Oh! Then we couldn’t possibly care about your opinions. You’re lucky we’re just trying to tax you, lol.
That sounds an awful lot like a threat. Get a grip, oh enlightened one.
Uhh no its absolutely a promise based on historical analysis. Either pay your fair share or the peasents will chop your head off, lmao.
Not a big fan of history I take it?

LOL… ya got me!
BC is in insolvency, someone call CTV news and let them know.
Idiot.

What you think is fair and what we think is fair is really not compatible, sorry.

I’m doubting the veracity of what you’re saying.
Fake person is fake. They even said BC is bankrupt. What a maroon, a buffoon even.
I dont much care of you dont believe me, but thats the truth.
Learn a skill. Start a business doing said skill.

Congratulations on learning that liberals aren’t leftists.
Stop leeching off the hard work of your employees.
Just partners at my business, friend! No leeching happening at all.
I don’t believe you!
Who cares, have it your way.
BC isn’t bankrupt at all
