HST in Place


The harmonized sales tax has arrived for some Ontario residents.
Saturday was the day that consumers in both Ontario and British Columbia started paying H-S-T on a number of services that are to be delivered after July 1st.
That includes such things as theatre packages, airplane tickets and gym memberships.
Many people fear it will drive up the cost of services that were previously exempt from provincial sales tax.
