2002 > 2003 Budget : Now, because now is the time for ACTION

$400�million for consumers

The government is injecting $400 million in favour of consumers by implementing the following three measures:

  • In December 2001, it will pay $250 million to 2.5 million people who receive the refundable Québec sales tax (QST) credit.
  • It is proceeding with full indexation of the personal income tax system. The initial rate of indexation has been increased, which means an additional $77 million for Québec’s 3.1 million taxpayers.
  • It is indexing social assistance benefits, which represents a transfer of $75 million for the benefit of people with low incomes.
