It’s wrong that you pay PST when you buy something used
even though someone else already paid PST when they bought it new.
Now, B.C. Premier John Horgan’s government is hiking sales taxes on essentials
like used cars and natural gas appliances.
The tax changes mean that when you buy a natural gas appliance, instead of
paying the usual seven per cent PST, you will now get hit with a 12 per cent
tax! This applies to things such as furnaces, hot water tanks and
stoves.
Why? Because the Horgan government wants to punish people for using natural gas
appliances and try to force them to buy electric heat pumps instead.
There’s more bad tax hikes out of Victoria.
Now, when you buy a used car in B.C, instead of paying between seven and 12 per
cent PST on the price you actually paid for the vehicle, you will be forced to
pay the sales tax based on what an ICBC bureaucrat thinks the car is worth instead.
If you get a good deal on a used car, the government won’t believe you, and it
will decide what you should
have paid and tax you on that instead.
These tax
hikes are NOT RIGHT.
YOU can
fight this by telling politicians to BACK OFF and to not impose higher taxes on
the basic things your family needs.
Please email Premier John Horgan and B.C. Opposition Leader Shirley Bond and
tell them to CANCEL
THESE B.C. TAX HIKES:
Here are
their email addresses:
* Premier
John Horgan: premier@gov.bc.ca
* Opposition
Leader Shirley Bond: shirley.bond.MLA@leg.bc.ca
Thanks for stepping up and fighting for taxpayers – it’s
making a difference!
Kris, Shannon and all of the CTF staff
