Don't get me started...
Hey everyone: Why not move your business to Quebec! Here's what we have to offer you :
- The highest income taxes of everywhere, starting at 41%
- 2 Taxes on consumer goods: GST is 5 cents per dollar. PST (Quebec) is 8 cents per dollar.
- Tax on Tax. Item cost = cost + (GST+PST)+PST.
- When Canada Lowered the GST Tax by 1 cent, Quebec RAISED its tax by 1 cent. Net gain: 0.
- Today Gas is $1.05 per Litre or $3.84 per gallon. You pay GST + PST + an extra 15.2 cents surtax on gas, or a total of 28.2% tax to fill your tank.
- Don't buy a "company car". Your company saves the tax but it is a taxable bennifit to you, and surprise! You pay MORE tax than you should.
- Business Tax in Montreal is up 333% in the last 3 years. The burden to collect the new higher tax has also been passed from the city, to building owners who rent to businesses. (Charge more, do less).
- Parking meters cost 25 Cents for 2 MINUTES in Tourist areas such as Old Montreal. 39% is tax. $0.04875 per minute is paid to the gov' just to park your car.
- Own a business? Ha. You pay your taxes for Next year, THIS year. (Yep! You pay your taxes 1 full year in advance). Miss a payment this year for next year's taxes? Surprise! You pay Penalties + Interest, for being "late", on your taxes for "next" year earnings.
Oh, and one more thing. I walked into a Subway for lunch the other day, and neither of the girls at the counter would speak to me in English.
