回复 apple4rt523:不要只说部分,GST是替代了几个隐藏的税种,加税和消费者支出增加没有直接关系,并对加拿大经济整体也是有利的,1993年自由党利用这个机会打着取消GST的旗号上台,然后把GST合并到了HST,换了个名字而已😂
In 1989, the Progressive Conservative government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his finance minister Michael Wilson proposed the creation of a national sales tax of 9%. At that time, every province in Canada except Alberta already had its own provincial sales tax imposed at the retail level.
The purpose of the national sales tax was to replace the 13.5% Manufacturers' Sales Tax (MST) that the federal government imposed at the wholesale level on manufactured goods. Mulroney claimed the GST was implemented because the MST was hindering the manufacturing sector's ability to export competitively. Manufacturers were concerned that the tax hurt their international competitiveness. The GST also replaced the Federal Telecommunications Tax of 11%.
