BC's unfair tax system means wealthy pay lower tax rate

Today the CCPA-BC released a new report that reveals how ten years of tax cuts and changes have created an unfair system in which the wealthy pay lower taxes and the public treasury is starved for funds. Not only are BC's wealthiest 20% of households paying the lowest tax rate, tax cuts have led to $3.4 billion less annually in public revenue than in 2000.
