HST proposed in BC taxes aimed to fund state services
The article argues that starting July 1 the HST will merge PST and GST at 12 percent, applying to many services previously exempt. It cites potential $1,000 extra yearly tax for the average BC family, concerns for low income earners and renters, and notes a petition campaign led by Sue Becker and Bill Vander Zalm to repeal the HST, with opposition polls showing 85 percent of residents against it. Saskatchewan’s 1989 HST repeal is offered as a precedent.
