Concern a new operating fee is nothing but a tax grab
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — A Williams Lake councilor and owner of a propane business is calling a proposed provincial policy a tax grab targeting rural businesses that are heated and powered by propane.
Scott Nelson says the province is trying to implement a $38 annual fee per tank come February 1st for no real explanation.
He says the use of tanks over 80 gallons is very common in rural B.C. particularly for the resource sectors like tourism, forest and mining.
