jdobbin Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/article/600884 Premier Dalton McGuinty's move toward harmonizing the 8 per cent provincial sales tax with the 5 per cent GST is meeting with sharp resistance within his Liberal caucus, the Star has learned.Behind closed doors in Tuesday's caucus meeting, skittish MPPs aired grievances over the scheme – which would raise consumption taxes on books, feminine hygiene products, heating fuel, children's clothing, diapers and fast-food value meals by 8 per cent while reducing the overall tax burden for business. Four provinces have harmonized their tax systems. Better? Worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
