Saskatchewan United Party leader Jon Hromek says he would cut the provincial sales tax to three per cent from six per cent
Saskatchewan United Party Leader, Jon Hromek , speaks at a news conference to kick off his election campaign in Regina, on Oct. 2, 2024. He has promised to cut the provincial sales tax in half, from 6 per cent to 3 per cent, and axe the gas tax. Saskatchewan ’s general election campaign moved into its second day Wednesday, with the two main parties shying away from touching the provincial sales tax while an upstart conservative party promises to slash it in half.
He said he would also audit the province’s finances to find savings, calling the spending of Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party government wasteful. Hromek’s party has proposed letting the private sector get more involved in health care. It also wants to give parents the option to not allow their children to learn about sexuality or certain social issues, such gender identity, in school.
Political experts say they are unsure whether Hromek’s party threatens the Saskatchewan Party, as polls suggest Moe has strong support in rural areas . A statement from the Saskatchewan Party said halving the provincial sales tax would remove $1.6 billion a year from government coffers.
