Hello Everyone,
Coming from Europe, the sales tax in the Canada stores is extremely surprising.
Every time I buy something, I have to calculate beforehand how much I will actually end up paying?
As the sales tax is not included in the price labels.
Does anyone find it annoying?
Anyways, since it’s a new country and I would love to understand Canadians’ ways a little better, here is what I did:
1. I asked people on street in Vancouver about it,
2. interviewed a general manager of grocery store,
3. and spoke with a tax lawyer.
The end result is this video.
This little adventure helped me better understand the reasoning and bureaucracy behind this decision. Also made me better understand Canadas laws.
If you have already arrived in Canada, how you feel about the sales tax? Compared to your home country.
It's very small thing, but then again only benefits a small amount of the population.
