Oak Bay區提議修改投機稅，市政府們投票通過
Oak Bay市長還說現有投機稅會把政府拉下台呢

Vancouver Sun:
In a resolution that was endorsed at the Union of B.C.Municipalities conference on Wednesday, the District of Oak Bay called for changing the proposed speculation tax in a way that would allow local governments to collect a levy on vacant properties. It would also require that those that do collect that tax use the revenues for non-market housing.
“The speculation tax in its current form will bring down the government,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen.“We don’t want that, we don’t intend that — in fact our motion is trying to avoid that. We are constructive, we are trying to plot a middle course and I think if all three parties come together and take this opportunity to move forward, B.C. will be a better place.”
The speculation tax as proposed by the government applies to property owners who don’t live in a property or rent it out long term.
It would see property owners, starting next year, taxed 0.5 per cent of assessed value for 2018, increasing to two per cent of assessed value in2019 for foreign investors and satellite families, one per cent for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who don’t live in B.C. and 0.5per cent for B.C. residents who are citizens or permanent residents.
The areas affected are Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Capital and Nanaimo regional districts, with some exemptions, along with the municipalities of Kelowna and West Kelowna.
