NBREA - Double Taxing Is Unfair

You may have heard of double taxation. It means that property owners pay taxes to their city or town as well as the province. It applies to non-owner-occupied properties like apartment buildings and cottages, as well as to commercial properties and factories. 

New Brunswick is the only province that charges double tax, and we think it’s a big problem. It’s unfair to New Brunswick property owners and renters, and it discourages real estate investment and business development when we should be trying to grow our economy.

We’ve been asking for an end to double taxation since 2010, and this election we’re doubling down. We’re joining New Brunswick’s apartment owners in asking politicians to commit to ending double taxation. It’s better for New Brunswick, it’s better for New Brunswickers, and it just makes sense.
