Accessibility Links Beginning of Story ContentBritish Columbians have voted
to axe the province’s controversial harmonized sales tax, according to the
results of a binding, province-wide referendum.
Elections B.C. announced on Friday morning that 54.73 per cent of the 1.6
million British Columbians who cast a ballot in the mail-in referendum voted
to roll back the tax and 45.27 per voted to keep it.
The province has yet to announce how the roll back will take place, but the
government has previously said repealing the tax will put a $3 billion hole
in the B.C. budget, if it has to repay the federal government the $1.6
billion it received to introduce the HST. |
