NTA Task Force Endorses Single Northern Tax Zone Change

Michael McGillivray, Vice-Chair, writes to thank western readers for understanding proposed tax benefits. He explains the Task Force’s finding that current rules unfairly treat Dawson Creek, Prince George, Penny, and other nearby communities. The group recommends a single northern zone to simplify eligibility and reduce border inequities, aiming to boost labor recruitment and fairness.
