Although the McGuinty government has tried its best to muddy the facts,

the HST is relatively straightforward. It is a tax shift – business taxes are

being reduced while consumer taxes go up. This tax shift will result in

consumers paying upwards of $7-billion more each year, depending on

whether businesses pass on their savings or not. Those who responded to

CARP’s survey do not think savings will be passed on – they probably

remember the same promises were made when the GST was introduced!

The McGuinty government points to sales tax harmonization in Atlantic

Canada as evidence that there will be no impact on consumer prices. But

the government conveniently fails to mention that the Atlantic provinces

actually lowered their sales tax rate when adopting the HST.

One of the other claims is that the HST will boost job creation. Ontario has

lost more nthan 300,000 jobs since 2003. Cities like Toronto, Sudbury,

Windsor and London have unemployment rates of more than 10 per cent.

Workers in these cities need proven job creation policies, not a new tax on

daily basics.

Even the Ontario Chamber of Commerce – the biggest supporter of the

government’s plan – admits the HST will “slow employment growth by

between 10 and 40 thousand jobs . . . as businesses substitute capital for

labour in the production of goods and services.”

So what’s in this tax for ordinary Ontarians? You will be paying eight per

cent more on hundreds, if not thousands, of goods and services. The

McGuinty government’s tax shift will result in consumers paying billions

more without even any new investments in public services, like healthcare

and education. It will slow job growth and help keep consumer confidence in

a rut.

The McGuinty HST is bad for Ontario because it is bad for Ontarians. You

can count on the NDP to fight against its implementation, but we need your

help.

Hello everyone

As a concerned taxpayer I feel it is important to have you all understand

what the new HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) or "blended tax" means to

Ontarians.

It amazes me that this announcement has slipped by without a ripple, and

yet when I tell people about the impact to them they are all shocked.

The intended purpose is to blend the GST and the PST into one tax.. This

will cut down the paperwork burden for Ontario businesses and, in theory,

lessen staff by merging both departments. This could be a noble attempt to

cut costs. There is just one problem. Rather than just blending the products

and services that now charge both taxes, the provincial government has

decided that it will apply this new tax to almost all goods and services that

you do not pay PST on now!

You are about to become the victim of the largest tax hike in our history.



How will this affect you? Let's start with just a few things that are to be

charged the extra 8% and see if it will affect you or your family.

Gasoline

Home heating fuel

Water

Hydro

Used cars

Government and city services

Real Estate Fees - if you think 5 or 6% is bad, just watch the market

decline further when people now pay PST + GST

Any service you now use for your home or business such as repairs,

professional services of any kind, construction materials etc.

These are just a few.

See this article about how the $1000.00 BRIBE they are offering will not

even cover ½ of the increased cost to the average family.



This tax hits Ontarians hard, but ESPECIALLY the low income ones! They

will have an 8% increase in everyday life, and yet you will not see their

benefits or salaries rise.

Actually almost everything currently without PST in your life - except

children's clothing, prescriptions, diapers, and feminine hygiene products -

will now cost you 8% more. Oh and here is a kicker. The fuel tax will slide

with the increasing cost of that fuel.

Our premier is counting on taxpayers to do what they always do when a new

tax is added.Nothing! It is very important that you start to research and

discuss this with your friends and family. It is not too late to stop this if you

are willing to do something as send an email to the premier asking him

either to a) stop the tax grab all together or b) do what was originally

intended and blend the tax on the products that now have both taxes and

not to extend the new tax to everything else. If you just sit there remember

you lose the right to complain about taxes ever again. Get UP and start

telling everyone about this injustice and we can stop this today. Don't think

your email will not count. When most MP's get more than 1000 emails, they

consider it a catastrophe!
