1. Speculation tax
This new, annual property tax will apply to foreign and domestic homeowners who do not pay income tax in B.C., including those who leave their properties vacant.
The new tax will initially apply to homes in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and capital regional districts in Victoria and Nanaimo, Kelowna and West Kelowna.
In 2018, the tax
rate will be 0.5 per cent of assessed value. In 2019, it will rise to 2.0 per cent of assessed value.
汇报一下个人理解,大家切磋:从2019年起,外国人(非公民、非居民),如果不在BC 省交个人收入所得税,所持有的房产,每年征收政府估价2%的物业税。是否意味着,外国买家除了买房时一次性交额外的20%海外买家税,每年还需要多交2%物业税?
"如果是这样,你不要悲哀........."
