Price spreads in cars shown to tariff board
Calgary hearings detail large price gaps for identical car models between Alberta and Montana. The tariff board heard that duties and taxes make U S cars costly in Alberta while Canadian manufacturers compete with local jobbers in the parts trade. Comparisons show taxes in Calgary far higher than in Butte, Montana, with one eight cylinder model selling for 1500 dollars incurring 138.33 dollars tax in Calgary versus 33.60 in Butte. A group of Alberta jobbers urged full investigation into duty free import of parts by manufacturers who then sell locally. A University of Alberta economist noted price differences up to 310 dollars between stock models in Selby, Montana, and Lethbridge, Alberta.
