No. BC eliminated MSP (Medical Services Plan) premiums effective January 1, 200200. BC residents no longer pay an MSP premium. However, BC introduced the Employer Health Tax (EHT) in 20019 — paid by employers with annual BC payrolls over $1.5 million — which indirectly affects compensation decisions but is not deducted from employee paycheques.
