I've been in retail over 40 years. The labor cost to the businesses will be outrageous! Just going through all of the skus and this is just a toy shop.... what about an independent store that have 100,000 skus. Hardware stores etc. Junior dept stores, general stores etc will be struggling and it will be months if not over a year to clean it up afterwards.
No one is “looking forward to a bit of a break”! From multiple sources, this will save on average between $4.51 and $11.71. This is not going to help the average person. You would need to be very strategic on spending in diapers or even alcohol.
Should not take more than 3 or 4 months to implement the GST changes using her free labour. Remember, she will be fined if she does not comply. O Canada...
The whole tax has been a colossal failure since its inception during the Mulroney years and subject to never ending carousel schemes. Overall, Canada is losing money to scammers and it is a pain to administer.
Wait, it seems like this Director knows exactly what to take GST off of and what not to. So... the confusion leading to a disaster is not really a thing? Or at least not a large issue amongst stores? Most stores i know have already made updates to their POS, ranging from large chains to small business with under 3 locations. Im eyeing this Director hard at this point. We have known about the GST thing for some time now.
Government never stops to think about the impact on business. You know, the ones who pay the corporate taxes, payroll taxes, etc. The incompetence of the liberals is beyond astonishing.
This time of year there is a lot of taxable food bought such as veggie platters, sandwich platters and stuff like that for Christmas and New Years parties.. That being said it is so badly implemented and like they say here too late in the year if it is supposed to help with Christmas shopping and such. This should have been announced months ago to allow both stores and customers to properly prepare for it. Plus they made it way to complex. The last 5 or so years make me really embarrassed to be a Liberal.
What the report doesn't say: the bill for this has passed the house but is still hung up in the senate. They got 48 hours to pass it and send to the GG for assent. Tick-tock...

It's inflationary. Cut taxes and hand out cheque's while paying more to service the debt now than what goes into healthcare. Your Costco bill will go up as the slow drain continues
Customers should shop where they get the best deal. If a store can't cope with the tax relief for customers, customers should shop elsewhere. It's a win-win.
@mangotango2909 LOL! Stores won't close because of a temporary tax adjustment. They adjust prices all the time for temporary sales. If you've ever worked retail, you'd know that their computer programs can be adjusted centrally for limited time offers on select items.
Guess where they are going to get the best deals? Wal-mart and Cost-co, keep feeding the oligarchy. I shop at my local co-op even though the prices are a bit higher.
Her excuse of "it's too much work" is a joke...I'm sorry but it's pretty clear what is not affected and what is...as she clarified (toys geared towards specific ages) and if you're an educated business owner or have a bookkeeper on staff, it's MAYBE a days worth of work to go through and check box on your inventory system. She's acting like she's going to have to pull paper documents and make big changes for every single sku when the reality is you're looking pages of sku's that you've filtered based on things that if you're an organized business owner...has this information catalogued already when setting up the sku's. It's not the age of paper and pen anymore!
They have to go through EACH section of the store and write down what age bracket does these belongs to and MANUALLY change EACH item within that age bracket it will take hours to complete
