| カナダに来てから「こんなに税金が高い国」だったとは、、、とビックリしています。日本で生活していたころ、やれ市民税だ、所得税だ、消費税だ、固定資産税だといっぱいあって「なんて国なんだ〜」って思っていましたが、「カナダ」はもっとひどい。 州や政府の収入が不足すると何だかんだで税金をあげてくる。ガソリンのカーボンタックスはこの前導入されて、その税はどこへ行っているやら。。。 今度はHSTという、簡単に言うと州税と国税をすべての購入物につけようというもの。今まではレストランや観光、それから食料品の一部にはかかっていなかった税金が一律にかかることになる。 全く、どれだけ私たちの財布の中に手をつっこんで取っていくんだろう  →返信する |

GSTとPSTという2つの税金があるんですが、レストランでの食事や食品の一部に税金がかかっていないです。それが全てのものに一律に税金がかかるようになるので、出費が増えます。これはワーホリや留学生にも同様にかかるようになりますので、 が余分にでていくことになります。

| 追加です。PSTはBC州のもので７％。GSTは国のもので５％。トータル１２％に全てなります。（以前は１４％を越えていました） 領収書を見てみると、TimHortonというコーヒーショップはGSTのみ。ガソリンもGSTのみ、パンは無税、レタスなんかの通常野菜も無税。それらにも税金がかかるんです

| HSTの反対集会が大々的に持たれました。 以下は Provice より  VANCOUVER — The jabs to beat back the HST are coming fast and furious from the left and right. And feeling the rage of people of all political stripes, Finance Minister Colin Hansen took on the ultimate fighter role Friday afternoon as he vowed to go mano-a-mano with his detractors in the tussle over the contentious taxation. “I found a lot of the initial anger out there is dissipating as people are getting more information about the tax,” Hansen said at a hastily called media conference following the anti-HST rally in downtown Vancouver that was attended by about 5,000 people. Hansen called Vander Zalm “a discredited former premier” with an axe to grind. “The exaggerated claims . . . are absolute falsehoods,” he said of the heated debate on the tax. At the sun-drenched gathering to denounce the upcoming harmonized sales tax outside the new convention centre, former B.C. premier William Vander Zalm told the crowd the campaign to stop the proposed tax has only just begun. He stood side-by-side with labour and union activists and NDP leader Carole James, all of whom have banded together in an odd left-to-right leaning coalition to get the government to abandon the tax grab. “It is wonderful to see people of all political persuasions fighting the HST,” Vander Zalm told the raucous crowd, many holding placards decrying the 12-per-cent tax and poking fun at premier Gordon Campbell. “We are not finished today, we are only starting. The HST is a cruel tax . . . It will hurt the people who can least afford to pay another tax. “They are picking your pockets. The economy is going to be hurt and we will lose jobs because of this tax. It has to be stopped.” But for those at the rally, vintage Vander Zalm has been enough to convince them the tax should not go through. “We have to keep up the fight,” said Jurgen Claude Pierre, 68, who was holding a placard with a picture of Gordon Campbell with fangs for teeth. “We have to have taxation, but with this HST, it is the way it was brought in.” There were 19 anti-HST rallies held around the province Saturday. NDP leader James said the public is outraged at how the tax was quickly brought forward. “I think they thought they could sneak it through,” she told the crowd. “The HST is going to slow down the economy at the worst time possible.” Retiree Betty MacDonald of Surrey was at the rally to join those in the tax fight. “The HST is going to hurt seniors and people in the low economic end of society,” she said. “Young families are already having a hard enough time and they can’t keep taxing people." In Nanaimo NDP MLA Leonard Krog was at an anti-HST rally with outraged people from all political parties. “We had people politically from the right and left,” he said of the event. “It was very interesting to see people who normally would not talk to each other there cheering and clapping all for one cause.” B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair said he finds the new allegiance of people from different political backgrounds very interesting. “What you are seeing is a coalition like you haven’t seen in years,” he said. “British Columbians from all walks of life are saying the HST should not be brought in.” On July 23, the Campbell Liberals announced plans for the harmonized sales tax. The shocker had many groups insisting the planned 12-per-cent tax rate would be passed on to the consumer. The Greater Vancouver Homebuilders Association said it estimates the tax hit on an average single-family home in Maple Ridge would be about $83,000 under the HST, an increase of about 10 per cent. The hard-hit tourism industry is also worried the HST will kill business. A just-released report from the Toroto-Dominion Bank states that the HST is expected to shift billions of dollars in taxes onto ordinary British Columbians. →返信する |
