Re: Surrey mulls 10% increase to tax bills, Dec. 11.
The shocking and surprising news for Surrey residents is 10 per cent increased on house tax.
It is a huge economic blow. People want some relief.
What about five per cent instead of 10 per cent?
Surrey is becoming more expensive. Many people find it difficult to survive and render taxes, which are revised now and then. People’s sources of income do not increase along with the taxes imposed from various sectors.
Save the city from extra taxes and make Surrey life easy, enjoyable and affordable.
Enormous amounts of funds are needed for required improvements and upgrading of city infrastructure, but public money should be utilized in an appropriate way so that there is no need to introduce new taxes and place an extra burden on the public.
We have to take some restricted measures so that government can be prevented from unnecessary expenses and only spend behind beneficial public projects.
