Personally, I'm skeptical about the actual benefits. However, I reluctantly support this tax because the provincial government is running a large deficit and it needs as much revenue as it can get. Like I've mentioned before, if you can't afford another $7 on a meal at West (or wherever else that kids eat these days), then you need to stop pretending you're a shot-caller. |
Why not, as if the government doesnt suck out my paycheque enough. |

Remember the fast ferries? Just because the government says something is good for the economy doesn't mean that it is. That is another 7% on homes that qualify for HST. |

Most consumer goods are already taxed at 12%. Is another 7% going to deter people from renewing a gym membership, going out to eat, or getting a pedicure? Perhaps a minority on the fringe will cut back, but the majority of people will grumble and pay the extra $3.50 on a $50 meal. The government knows this and it's an easy way to generate more revenue when we badly need it. If the effects of the HST on the hospitality industry are as colossal as the doomsayers would have you believe, then restaurants will have to lower their prices and/or offer better service - not bad things if you ask me. |
With the government taxing the households more, their disposal income becomes less, which equals to less spending and in a time of recession we need more spending. That 7% extra adds up quickly and for those families living on a tight disposal income as is, it might be disastrous. |

You are all missing the true benefit of this tax: less government. One tax means one office administering it, not both a provincial and federal organization. Less government employees playing solitaire is A-OK in my books. Ideally the HST should equal one or both of: - decreased prices as companies pass the tax savings along - increased employment as companies use the tax savings for investment Yet more likely the companies will use it to pad their bottom lines in the recession, since their profit margins have probably already been hurt. |

pay two tax on privately buying used car too? |
seriously? Why support being taxed more than we already are? You really think I'm going to eat out when they're going to tax me 12%? What logic is, "We'll tax more then more people will shop/buy/eat out." The only way I would support HST is if they lowered income tax but we all know it's not going to happen this lifetime. soooo.... FUCK HST! |
the only businesses this will help are big business like the Bestbuy/Futureshop, Superstores, BCHydros, Shaw, Rogers because people will inevitably go to them regardless of the taxes but people will avoid the small businesses, mom n pop shops the big corporations will be able to hold out through the initial downturn in people not spending while the small shops won't be able to sustain themselves and close down. if the duration of consumers not spending lasts longer Big Business will just let those extra employees go and hold out longer until people start spending again (which is inevitable) |
