You'd think at least funeral costs would be tax exempt, IMO.

skyxx 04-20-2010 08:11 PM
^ To be honest, funerals are where you can easily make money. Technically no one really bargains since everyone is so sad already.

...and everyone dies, so guaranteed income! The government combined the two immutable facts of life: death & taxes.

skyxx 04-20-2010 08:23 PM

did you know there is a whole province outside of metro vancouver?

BaoXu 04-20-2010 09:34 PM
yeah but he was asking specifically about vancouver...

ajax 04-20-2010 09:52 PM
isn't it that the amount over $400k is taxed? Ie a $560k house has only $160 subject to tax.

call me high or whatever,

but I think the government should legalized weed and sell it at an inflated price instead of adding a 6% mandatory tax.

The revenue generated from weed should be good, but might not be comparable to the HST.

Amuse 04-20-2010 10:04 PM
How about food?
So gas prices will go up even more?
I better renew my Costco card before the hst.

HST is pathetic. Is there anything that will stay 5% GST only?

I think the carbon tax increases each year.

So the gas will hike up twice as much due to the combination of the carbon tax and HST.

cococly 04-20-2010 10:22 PM
7% increase in gas prices......

From current ~$1.20/L to $1.28/L directly.

hirevtuner 04-20-2010 10:31 PM

i guess they can't tax you walking

1.30 is a steal in the summer. I still remember when it was 1.50 - 1.60

That was killer.

wtf man, another 7% increase in gas

OK, gas right now: (After HST in Bold)

(112.3 cents/litre) --> 119.7

(GST: 5.3) --> GST/HST: 12.7
Federal Excise Tax: 10.0
Provincial Fuel Tax: 8.5
Provincial Carbon Tax: 3.33
Urban Transit Tax: 15.0
Total Taxes: 49.5

An annual carbon tax increase makes it even more.
