not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, purchases residential real
estate property in Metro Vancouver. The tax is expected to add a large cost
to foreign buyers of homes in Vancouver and increase tax revenue for the
provincial government.
Government figures showed that foreigners, mainly Chinese, have purchased $1
billion worth of real estate in British Columbia during a five-week period
in 2016. When the tax was introduced, Christy Clark the Premier of British
Columbia said: "There is evidence now that suggests that very wealthy
foreign buyers have raised the price, the overall price of housing for
people in British Columbia". Foreign buyers were blamed by Tom Davidoff of
the University of British Columbia (UBC) for large increases in real estate
prices experienced in Vanvouver. According to David Ley, also of UBC, taxing
foreigners has slowed down rapid real estate appreciation in other
countries.[13]
