Review BC tax on business supplies

Study the sales tax firms pay on supplies. Compare changes, lost tax income and who would gain.

StudyUpdated:

Our argument

A tax on tools and supplies should be judged by its full effect. We want to know when tax gets charged at more than one step, who bears it and what reform would cost.

What must change

Study the sales tax firms pay on supplies. Compare changes, lost tax income and who would gain.

What a win looks like

Clearer, fairer taxes with the public cost and the gains shown side by side.

Public cost

We have not yet priced this ask for the public purse. Any public aid must be priced before we seek funds for it.

The evidence

This case is a proposal. We have not yet published a measured claim for it. The research we still need is set out below.

Studies and notes

No case study is published here yet. This is the next question to check.

What we need to check

Trace current tax through real supply chains. Compare exemptions, credits and other options without assuming all taxes are waste.

Updates
