From August 2, anyone not a Canadian citizen or resident will be charged a 15% tax when they purchase property in Metro Vancouver. The initiative was announced today by Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

From the Abbotsford News’ story on the topic:

“De Jong said revenue from the tax will go into a new provincial fund to provide rental and social housing. Some revenues from a recent increase in B.C.’s property transfer tax on high-end homes may also be directed to the “housing priority initiatives fund,” which is being started up with $75 million in seed money from the provincial treasury.”
