National Post- Trudeau’s unbelievably complicated tax holiday

Blacklock’s- Tax On, Tax Off ‘Really Hard’
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland last night said it was “really hard to decide” what to tax or not under a GST holiday bill.
I am finding it very easy to decide that I loathe these idiots more every bloody day.
This is pure insanity.
Don’t buy any of it and save 100%.
“Children’s clothing gets a pretty broad exemption. If it’s below a certain size it probably won’t be charged GST …”

Hopefully, this will piss off enough small and medium-sized business owners to drive Liberal support below 20%.
exactly. heyo independent shop owner(s) DID YOU VOTE LIBERAL? THIS IS
ALLLLLLL YOUR FAULT. ALL OF IT FOREVER.
Just wait until CRA starts to terrorize the retailers who fell afoul of the exemptions that the CRA has to make up as it goes along.
Only a narcissist would dream up rules like this.
Central planning by idiots.
Idiots elected by other idiots.
Golly Stan, that is 100% correct.
For Freeland, the only thing that’s not “really hard” is a dick anywhere near her.
Hard laugh
Snort!
Being communists, they make their decisions on “who is buying” not the “what is being bought”. Just be thankful they aren’t applying race and “gender” to the process. Well, not for this Christmas at least.
The reverse blue pill.
All the Liberals want are headline back of the envelope announcements. Details are totally irrelevant.
Let me fix that for you Chrystia.
Lower the GST to 4% across the board or 3 or 2 or 0. Easy for everybody.
There you go
The woman is grotesque
Hey Chrystia, did you waive the gst on condoms, lemon gin and paper bags, hoping the “santa”
will be good to you this year?
Math class is also really hard.
According to the rules as published so far:
Tax free:

Fully Taxed:

In the words of economist Mike Moffatt, it’s “probably the worst tax policy in a decade.”
Bullshit, it’s the stupidest tax policy ever, anywhere. Mike Moffat is so dumb he could be Trudeau’s finance minister.
Just my perspective from the US outside looking in, I think all non-government Canadians should each get a hockey stick and form two opposing lines facing each other about 6 – 8 feet apart. (Yes, it would be a very long line.)
Then those non-government Canadians should have all those goobermint idjits involved run the gantlet that was formed and just forget about the GST holiday.
The satisfaction derived should be worth far more than any GST savings.
Don’t care. I’ll be in Mexico shortly where I’ll purchase my annual supply of t-shirts and shorts and other apparel. I don’t even declare it when I come back cause it’s nicely worn by then.
The government can take their GST and choke on it.
+++Frank. I used to do that when in Florida, back when clothes and shoes were a lot cheaper there than in canada. No savings these days.
Remember when the a-hole Liberals campaigned on getting rid of the GST?
