Bill 55 could curb utility tax revenue in Peace Region
Cees Mond reports that Bill 55 under provincial study would cap utility tax rates and set a fixed ratio to business taxes, risking tax losses for Peace Region towns. The UBCM estimates $56,000 yearly loss to the region, with Chetwynd bearing $44,000 and Fort St. John noting indirect effects. Local leaders warn of reduced autonomy and rushed implementation without proper consultation.
