Since the NDP assumed power in B.C. in the summer of 2017, there's a perception that it's been jacking up taxes in a multitude of ways.
There are new housing taxes, a new health-care tax on employers, a higher carbon tax, a higher tobacco tax, and new revenues from taxing the sale of cannabis.
But according to a policy note by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, most B.C. households are seeing their taxes fall.
And it's the top one percent of income earners who are paying more..

Well when you transfer a tax from an individual to business of course people will end up paying less taxes and of course they will also see less wages increases. Its hard to use this as a measure for success as its just roundabout taxation. But yes I would agree that taxes on the 1% have definitely increased.
