VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The province is trying to make the HST a little more appealing. BC's finance minister has announced the tax will be cut to 10 per cent by 2014.
The tax will first go down to 11 per cent by 2012, then to 10 percent in the following years.
BC's finance minister Kevin Falcon promises families would also get a one-time 175 dollar rebate cheque for every child under 18.
"That will transition people over to the first cut that takes place on July 1st of next year, and of course, 175 dollars for every senior, up to $40,000 of income."
