7/11    Anybody know what's the property tax rate in British Columbia in
        Canada?  I know they have a high income and sales tax (it's a socialist
        country after all) but what about their property tax?  Thanks.
        \_ DAMN COMMIES!
        \_ Property tax is zero.  No one can afford any property after paying
           their other taxes.  It would be a loss for the BC local government
           to try to tax anything further just from printing the paperwork.
           The rock has been squeezed dry.
           \_ home ownership in canada is quite high actually.
        \_ How high are the income and sales tax there?
           \_ there's a GST (general sales tax) of about 14-15% across all
                        \_ that's goods and services tax
              canada.  And the provincial gov't tax more on top of that.
        \_ Be careful buying property you plan to keep unless you plan on
           becoming a citizen.  They have bizarre laws to keep non-citizens
           from inheriting property.
           \_ you assume I give a damn who inherits my property
