Need a Canadians View
An article taken from the "Money" Section of the Sun Sentinel June 24, 2012 reports that some 86,000 Canadians most from Montreal are moving to South Florida and Florida in general permanently to avoid taxes. The article reported that a Canadian making in excess of $80,200 was now subject to 46% in taxes. Apparently in the Quebec Province the sales tax exceeds 15% A financial planner who helps Canadian transplants says you can't go 10 feet down Hollywood Beach without hearing a french accent. The article also concluded that the 86,000 number would be more than doubled if you consider properties purchased through corporations, trust or partnerships.
I would like to hear from Canadians their point of view concerning this article its accuracy, causes, etc. Finally given that Canadians are required to live in Canada for six monts of the year in order to stay qualified for their national health care how this qualification is affected?
