Quoted from cait001:I was going to say, "well we also pay property tax and sales tax" and stuff like that to temper my post... but reading through this thread, how much is everyone paying, percentage-wise for property tax???
I think our bill is like 1% of our house's value, annually. And that's a good chunk of change every year! But seeing people saying their property tax is over $10k annually blows my mind, and makes me think you all live in million dollar homes.
What about VAT? Seems to me that last time I was in British Columbia basically everything I bought had 7% sales tax plus 7% VAT. Those taxes also seemed to apply to things that would not have sales tax in the USA. Not to mention prices in general were more expensive on everything before the sales taxes; and lets not talk about gas prices being $2+ a gallon more. Also, people I talked to said the income tax rate was fairly flat with less deductions than the average person in the USA would get. A lot of the people I talked to had two jobs and fortunately the jobs were plentiful. British Columbia is a beautiful place and I would gladly live there despite the taxes, so take no offense - just sayin
