No. BC eliminated MSP (Medical Services Plan) premiums effective January 1, 2020. BC residents no longer pay an MSP premium. However, BC introduced the Employer Health Tax (EHT) in 2019 — paid by employers with annual BC payrolls over $1.5 million — which indirectly affects compensation decisions but is not deducted from employee paycheques.
BC's top marginal rate (53.5%) is comparable to Ontario's (53.53%). For mid-range incomes ($50,000–$150,000), BC and Ontario combined rates are also very similar. Alberta has significantly lower provincial income tax than both BC and Ontario.
