Houston budget today – 23 March – is a huge mistake for the future prosperity of NS. Zero tax adjustments, such as indexing the basic personal tax exemption, or lowering the income tax brackets at any level. Our future prosperity will fizzle out with this Houston budget. So sad that we in NS just can’t help ourselves. Oh my what have we done.
Thank you for highlighting that NS has no indexing of tax brackets. A balanced approach to assisting ALL Nova Scotians in this period of high inflation is essential. Houston better recognize this and action tax relief or our prosperity will be fleeting.

Great article.
It was a shocker 20 years ago when we moved from Montreal to NS to realize that there was a higher tax jurisdiction than Quebec.

Thank you Bill. I can’t believe we spent more on roads than health care capital all those years. Wow!
I will email the Premier and let him know he should read this article.

My thoughts also, Michael. Also that Bill Blacks articles are really the only Public discussions about these issues. I’ve learned much from Bill.
