💡 Why BC is Attractive for Freelancers
British Columbia has competitive provincial tax rates, especially in the lower and middle income brackets. BC freelancers benefit from lower rates than Ontario and Quebec, making it one of the better provinces for self-employed individuals. However, you still pay the full 11.9% CPP plus 8% CPP2 on earnings above $74,600.
