這個speculation tax 並不會影響到70%的人的利益 會被影響到的 只是一小部份的人而已
假設房屋估價是100萬 屋主一年繳稅 繳不到兩萬的人 並不是那麼多 只要你繳的income tax超過兩萬 這個speculation tax 就跟你無關了~ 所以 大部份有房屋的納稅人 是不會受到影響的
但是 被影響到的這一小部分人 也並非真的每個都是在炒房的 例如說 可能有些屋主 在幾十年前就已經買下了西區的house 現在的估值是400萬 但是 他現在沒什麼收入 (可能已經退休了) 那他每年繳交的所得稅 就一定不到8萬 按照這篇報導中的說法 他就得補齊這個差額的speculation tax 對這批人來說 這個新的政策 就不是很公平了

看看这谈子里的专业左派，联邦大选使劲为自由党摇旗呐喊；对待难民问题使劲说难民好要多收（现在交通拥挤，房屋供不应求，还喊多收，你有那个能力才行）现在卑诗省选又变成偏左的自由党和极左的ndp，真是无语了，这些人是恨不得加拿大人都穷死乱死啊！
左派就是动所有人碗里的肉！特鲁多的碳税已经让油价涨了不少，跟谁没关系？现在ndp这个2%更狠居然拿住房开刀，真是不计后果！房价大跌对谁都不好过，虽然我没房，不过如果房东知道自己100万买的房子现在只值50万，房东能不加房租吗？还有有房的人知道房价跌成狗就会节衣缩食，饭店也不去，旅游也取消了....整个社会经济都死了……

因为一个常识是，竞选是为了争取多数人赞同，所以竞选前期，政党特别是在野党的所有竞选纲领政策都是为这个目标服务的。
就你的理解来说，是全体屋主都交到2%。这个不可能。因为一则收入税和LEⅤY的收税机构和税收用途完全不同，用2%统一没法平衡。第二个，大温平均房价都有一百万左右，而家庭平均年收入是8万上下，也就是平均交一万税，差一半。这肯定打击70%以上的家庭，会失选票而不会得到支持，所以肯定是误解或有部分人蓄意误导。
而且little是多少?500还是2000刀?这个没有具体出来。我想他是说要公平，打击的是那些不报或少报来偷福利兼炒房食利的小偷。对退休的，如果政策出来，一定是豁免，困为NDP的执政理念就是制强扶弱。
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...eliminate-interest-on-student-loans-1.4069193
The B.C. NDP is promising to increase corporate income tax, introduce a speculation tax and eliminate interest on current and future student loans as part of its 2017 election platform.
The party unveiled details at an event in Coquitlam, B.C. Thursday morning.
The platform includes $717 million in new spending for the current fiscal year and projects a budget surplus of $108 million for the 2017/2018 year.
To generate new revenue, the party wants to increase corporate taxes as well as income taxes on the top 2 per cent of earners and introduce a new speculation tax.
It also plans to reallocate the $500 million in Christy Clark's LNG prosperity fund over the next three years.
The party says that money will pay for the commitment to eliminate tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.
Once the money from the prosperity fund is used, they say they will have created a new transportation plan for the entire region in consultation with Metro Vancouver mayors.
The NDP also says it will cut waste from the current budget and that— combined with an increase in revenue based on higher GDP growth than the Liberals are forecasting — will allow for the budget to be balanced.
Speculation tax & interest-free student loans
Part of the platform is a new two per cent speculation tax.
Anyone who owns a home in B.C. but doesn't pay income tax in Canada will have to pay the new tax, which it estimates will raise $100 million in this fiscal year.BC
The party also wants to scrap interest on students loans.
In an effort to appeal to younger voters, the party — if elected — promises students who are are qualified for financial assistance will receive a $1,000 grant when they graduate from a college or university in B.C. to cover part of their student loans.
The remainder of those loans will be interest-free for the life of the loans.
More details on previous promises
The party says it plans to make good on a promise to offer renters a $400 rebate, but there will be a threshold based on monthly rent.
It will uphold the B.C. Liberals' plan to cut MSP premiums by 50 per cent as of January 1, 2018, then eliminate the fees completely by the end of the first term.
