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

[skyxx]

^ 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.

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

[BaoXu]

yeah but he was asking specifically about vancouver...

[ajax]

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]

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?

[orange7]

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]

7% increase in gas prices......

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

[hirevtuner]

probably see gas prices up around 1.30 come summer time damn it

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.

[danned]

[Amuse]

Man, I love it when I hear "No tax" when I'm buying something.

GST is no longer anything.. same with PST.. they will be gone and replaced with HST afaik.

[StylinRed]

JESUS, GAS TOO? OMG I Never even thought of that before.....


prices are already ridiculous.... our dollar is worth more than the USD and a Barrel of fuel is only $83

[Meowjin]

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

[Great68]

But But But! Gas companies are going to lower their prices when they realize all the money they're saving by the reduced operating costs brought on by the HST!!!


YEAH FUCKING RIGHT, Like that will ever happen. :fuuuuu:

[bloodmack]

So if they get rid of GST, what about the companys that have it so they can get the GST back from petty cash purchases? Do they do HST now instead?
