"The New Brunswick tax system results in landlords and tenants paying close to double the property taxes of the other Atlantic Provinces and the Canadian average."

Axe The Double Tax - Apartment Renters Tax

The NB government believes that this is okay because it views this as a tax on business. At the current level of taxation, however, the property taxes paid represents close to 50% of the operating costs of a landlord. The reality is that with this amount of taxes it is passed directly onto the tenants – THE TENANTS PAY THIS TAX – no other conclusion can be made. (Click here for Double Tax poster)

The NB government also believes that no one cares about the excessive taxation on tenants and landlords because no one is speaking out about it.

Having tenants subsidize single-family homeowners is unfair and wrong and needs to be changed! The rest of Canada does not do this and nor should New Brunswick.
