Many groups or should I say special intrest groups including our MLAs want you to believe it will be revenue neutral but it sure doesn't look that way to me.
The government in Ontario is giving each resident a $ 1000.00 cheque. Our government should forget about doing the same in BC. It will not even begin to pay the first year increase in costs. Remember the $ 100.00 we received when the carbon tax was introduced.?
Let's send a message to our MLA, (perhaps remove them from office) talk about it to your friends, send this information to everyone you can think of.
These figures don't include some major key items such as car and home insurance going up 7%, home heating oil and gas for your car and natural gas for your home are going up 7 %. Just think about this the next time you eat in a restaurant. The entire bill will be taxed at 12% and the suggested tip is 15% for a total of 27%.
Trips to chiropractors, natualpaths and other important services up 7%. Home purchases, used car purchases and many more that no one has thought about yet.
It is time to act before it is too late. This is done to save business money by combining the two taxes (PST and GST) but there are already exceptions so why is there a need to add PST to items that don't have PST on them other then as a tax grab.
This should be a referendum, Politician are suppose to work for us But We all know who they work for them selves and special interest groups.
Let your MLA how disgusted we are with them.
Ask them to quit and go work at Wal-Mart because they sure don’t have a clue on how to make it better for Canadian resident and families.
THE TAX GRAB
7% more for NOTHING more
Seniors living in retirement enjoy a lifestyle different than the one they lived while at work. In retirement, to be active, often means paying a fee, a membership, an admission, a subscription or for costs for travel, etc.
Who really cares what they do with their time they earned it. Why the hell are they been taxed after already being taxed for more than 40 years. Now retired they have to pay more taxes to enjoy their retirement.
We have calculated that the impact of this will be more costly for seniors, than anyone has reported.
Consider a retired couple, receiving total retirement income of $41,400 after tax per year, healthy enough to enjoy some comfort in retirement.
Many of those items used on a daily basis will now be subject to an 7% cost increase, because of the new harmonized sales tax introduced by the Liberal government
Look at just a few of those items that will cost more, without getting more.
