This is deceiving. There is, in fact, no tax cut.
As of Jan 2025, NS joins every other Canadian province and will finally start to index tax brackets and basic personal tax exemptions but have not increased them at all, so we will remain The Highest Taxed Province In Canada.
BREAKING: Our PC Government is delivering the largest tax cut in Nova Scotia’s history.
