Harmonized Tax - ONLY YOU CAN MAKE difference!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 one of the largest tax hikes in our history. How will this affect you? Let's start with just a few things that are to be charged the extra 8% to see how it will affect you and your family.
Gasoline
Home heating fuel
Water
Hydro
Used cars
Government and city services
Any service you now use for your home or business such as repairs, professional services of any kind, construction materials etc......and these are just a few.
Please read the article in the following link. The $1000 bribe they are offering will not even cover the increased costs. This tax grab will hit Ontarians hard.

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 usually 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 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 loose the right to complain. Get UP and start telling everyone about this injustice and we can stop this today. Don't think your email will not count.
