CAOEC is requesting the B.C. Government apply the Employer Health Tax (EHT) on a prorated basis for nonresident and resident workers who work outside of the province. This system of assessing and applying the EHT would substantially reduce the inherent unfairness in the current application of the EHT, prevent incentives for employers to favour the use of resident or non-resident workers, and maintain adequate revenues to the B.C. government in support of the objectives of the EHT.
A prorated application of the EHT can be achieved through legislative amendment of the EHTA or via the regulatory power described in Section 110(1) of the Act.
