Employer Health Tax Impact on Local Government

UBCM recently surveyed local government financial officers to assess the impact of the employer health tax (EHT) on local government. Based on input provided, it is evident that there will be a wide variance of impact on local governments, with 29% seeing net reductions in Medical Services Plan (MSP) related costs and 71% seeing cost increases. Taken as a whole, the survey respondents will see MSP related costs double between 2017 and 2020. We have prepared a report on the survey information.
