There are ALOT of great benefits that the HST brings. consumption taxes are the way to go for sure. and as a new business I am glad I only have to do sales tax filing once!
But to add a new tax to items that were previously exempt because they are needed by all in society or because they promote healthy living and green initiatives is plain WRONG.
Its too bad that the BC liberals complete incompetence has failed to modernize our tax system into something that could have been good. Guess they couldn’t have kept the same PST exemptions for the regular folks after cutting so much tax from their big business buddies.
Only good thing that is coming out of this whole HST mess is that people are finally realizing just how corrupt and incompetent the BC liberal party is. Too bad they didn’t figure it out before the last election!
