Message from the Honourable Jim Flaherty,
Minister of Finance
Canada’s new government is offering widespread tax relief.
The GST/HST was reduced by one percentage point beginning July 1,
2006.
This is a tax reduction that will benefit all Canadians regardless
of age or income. When you purchase most products and services,
you will realize a savings.
As a consumer, do you know all of the ways you can benefit, or
what to do if the benefits aren’t passed along to you?
As a business owner, do you know all you need to know to apply
this tax relief effectively and fairly?
The answers can be found on our GST/HST websites. This comprehensive
new communications tool is informative and easy to navigate. And
if you can’t find your answer online, contact information
is readily available.
I invite you to explore our GST or HST site and check it out for
yourself. I hope you find it interesting and useful.
