Residents looking to better understand tax expendatures are in luck, thanks to a new report by the Auditor General.
Tax expendatures are tax breaks that the government offers in support of social services, and policy objectives that relate to things like the economy or environment.
In the 2016-2017 fiscal year, the BC government reported 7 billion dollars in tax expendatures, but they can be one of the most difficult to understand sections of the budget.
To combat this, BC Auditor General Carol Bellringer has released an information report to help British Columbians grasp the topic.
