PST/GST harmonization in Ontario

[巴菲]

一旦这个BUDGET明天通过后，安省房屋购买价格将猛提$17K~46K之多。

看看这个LINK里那几个LIBERAL的头们的高兴劲，就知道要多收税了。

The PST/GST tax harmony is a done deal today. Not entitled for the $1000 credit/rebate

为什么两个税合并会让购屋价格提升呢？

事实上，如果安省通过了HST，涨价商品的范围远远超过不少人的想象：小到衣食、大到住行，几乎涵盖了生活的各个方面——统统需要多缴大约8%的税。据本 地主流媒体统计，会涨价的日用商品和费用包括：报纸；订阅的杂志；4元以下的餐饮（包括咖啡、茶和早点）；交通费用（包括出租车、公交巴士、飞机和火车 费）；能源费（汽油、柴油、电费、天然气费、夏天吃BBQ用的丙烷、冬天用的柴火）；野营地费；家用互联网费；某些贴有“能源之星”(Energy Star)标志的电器；维生素；健身房会员费；价格低于一千元的自行车及附属安全设备；会计费和法律服务费；干洗和洗烫费；建筑费（包括家庭建筑和装 修）；拖车服务（Car towing services）；草坪修剪和除雪服务；以及一次性的圣诞树（真树）。

income tax 调整了吗？

一般来说，左翼党派的劫富济贫的政策，对比较勤劳的社会阶层，是一个灾难。自由党属于中偏左党派。

一事请教。比如说我在去年买了个40万的新房，这房今年年底close。这税怎末算啊？

2007年10月31号前买房之后close的人沾了transitional rebate的光；是不是这回倒过来了？还是builder 把cost吞进去？。。。

2010年7月1日起施行，所以现在买的房还行，1年半怎么也建起来了，赶在2010/7/1之前close省8%；现在还没买的就别买了——这对新房房事是严重的打击呀。

it is not that bad.

Buyers of new homes will be able to apply for a sales tax rebate equal to 6 per cent of the home price up to $400,000 and a smaller rebate on prices up to $500,000. The full sales tax will apply to the entire price of homes costing more than $500,000.

Done deal today afternoon！It's not clear if the HST would apply to the family who purchase new house before July 1,2009 and take procession after deadline. But for sure it will apply to the purchase after the date.

- A new rebate will be extended to homebuyers to ensure that new homes valued under $400,000 are not subject to additional tax burden. Above that value, the rebates will be phased out, and they will be eliminated altogether on homes valued at more than $500,000. Resale homes will not be subject to the single sales tax.

Ontario Budget 2009

- Under the new Ontario Sales Tax Transition Benefit, $300 will go to single Ontarians earning less than $80,000 per year, and $1,000 will go to eligible households earning less than $160,000 per year. The total will be spread out in three payments, with cheques going out in June 2010, December 2010, and June 2011.

The Ontario government has announced two permanent tax cuts designed to stimulate the economy. On the personal income tax side, the provincial government has announced a reduction in the lowest bracket tax rate from 6.05 per cent to 5.05 per cent effective in the 2010 tax year. The lowest rate is applied on the first $36,848 in taxable income. This reduction will save each filer up to $205. However, for the highest income earners, the government will claw back most of this tax reduction by adjusting the thresholds to which the Ontario surtax applies. The Ontario government currently levies a 20 per cent surtax on Ontario income tax over $4,257 and a 36 per cent surtax on income tax over $5,370. The budget adjusts the surtax thresholds to claw back from the highest income earners $156 of the $205 in tax savings that result from the reduction of the lowest tax rate.

Something may be caused for crying to the highest income family. The new surtax will be on average $156 higher than before for a higher income earner. 劫富济贫的政策就是要多收税.
