PST/GST Harmonization
Municipalities will now have to pay tax on purchases which are presently exempt, such as insurance premiums. As a result of the harmonization, users will also face higher recreational fees and important services, for example, fire inspections.
The EOWC Inc. respectfully requests the Minister of Finance to implement a full 100% rebate of new costs resulting from the PST/GST for all municipal governments and not just on a "sector'-wide" basis.
