Global- Nova Scotia will drop HST to 14%
The provincial part of the HST will drop to nine per cent from 10, meaning Nova Scotians will be paying a combined HST of 14 per cent.
“Lowering the HST will make things more affordable for all Nova Scotians, everybody who purchases something. So that’s why we’re taking this step,” Houston told reporters during a Wednesday news conference.
Only 14%! Yowsers!
Sorry, a one percent drop in a VAT? Seriously? That’s “common sense”? How about ditching it entirely, eliminating duplicate taxes, the taxes upon the other taxes? But no,… one percent…. that’s it. That’s it, folks.
Lipstick on a pig. A 5% drop would be a start.
Alberta: “hahahahaha”
