Buffer zones proposed to curb PST leakage to Alberta
Chetwynd council backed a plan by Alvin Stedel to create PST buffer zones near the BC Alberta border. Within 30 kilometres merchants would charge 3 per cent PST, 30 to 60 kilometres 5 per cent, aiming to cut cross-border sales leakage for ATVs and motorcycles. Council sent a letter of support to the provincial government.
