There’s no “health care tax” in Ontario.
- Scoundreller 8y agoSure there is. There is a "health care premium" on your tax return. If you don't pay it, you'll get charged with tax evasion. When the government announced it, they avoided the word "tax", but it absolutely is. Don't buy the gov's BS.
- radford-neal 8y agoThat's correct. There's something that the provincial government calls a health care tax, but it is actually just another tax, whose proceeds go into the general revenue pot, with no specific connection to health care. You have to pay it even if you are not eligible for provincial health benefits (due to insufficient residence time, for example).
