A couple of years ago I looked into relocating from NYC to Vancouver, BC. Needless to say, even with the high combined state/local income tax rates we endure in NYC, total income taxes were much higher in BC than in NYC.
Then I added in the cost of my private health insurance and guess what - the total income tax cost PLUS health insurance cost is about the same in BC as it is in NYC.
RE: the total income tax cost PLUS health insurance cost is about the same in BC as it is in NYC.
So, are you saying that “health insurance” ( for want of a better word ) in BC is actually INCLUDED in their total income tax?
