Happy Tuesday! Just think, next year at this time we will be coming back to work after a long weekend! I'm already looking forward to Family Day in BC. Some how it hurts a little more to know the rest of the country has something that we don't yet.
Good news, last week the provincial government announced that the HST threshold has been increased from $525,000 to $850,000 effective April 1st, 2012. Not only have HST rebates been increased but, provisions have also been put in place for secondary and recreational home builds outside of the Vancouver and Victoria areas. Hopefully this will act as a stimulus until the tax is fully transitioned out. Several groups continue to lobby the government for a revision of the Property Purchase Tax. Although there is little chance that the tax will be completely eliminated, the idea to ask for indexing the tax or allowing for a flow through from builders to final consumers is being reviewed for proposal to the government.
