Saskatchewan residents have been waiting for this for a while.

As of midnight this past Saturday, Saskatchewan residents received a much-needed break.

Provincial Sales Tax went down 2% making it now 5%.

The NDP government estimates Saskatchewan residents and businesses will see about $325 million in savings annually thanks to the reduction.

It’s estimated that a family with an income of $50,000 a year will save about $307 in a year.

The Premier says the PST reduction is part of his government’s plan to ensure Saskatchewan remains the best place to live,work and raise a family.
