The government is double dipping in 2019. They are collecting 50% of the old MSP payments, and the new payroll tax.
The payroll tax is also escalating based on the size of the business:

Bottom line is, instead of everybody (or their employer) paying MSP, the burden will be shifted to a smaller group of companies with payrolls over $500k.
So the big question is, we will see reductions from all of these businesses and governments in 2020? Not likely.
