WEST imiousonianon ov ecuest gerut MARKET STREET GST? THIS WEEK YOU ASKED THE GST CONSUMER INFORMATION OFFICE. Q: I'm thinking of buying a new car in 1991. How will the proposed GST affect prices? A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is now part of the price of new cars. So, while they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991, the expected effect of replacing the FST with the GST on the average $22,000 mid-size car is a reduction of around $850. QQ: My son has figured out it will cost $500 in lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he bought it now. How much will that lumber cost with the proposed GST? A: You can expect to pay about $512 for that same amount of lumber for personal use based solely on the changeover from the FST to the GST. Q: I know the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but I take the commuter train to work. Will I have to pay GST? A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered a municipal transit service, so fares are exempt from GST. We're here to answer your questions about how the GST will affect prices.
