Roger Worth A lot of small firms in Canada have a legitimate complaint about the failure of governments to seek remedies •* for the "nuisance" problems - created by double-digit inflation. inflation. Consider what's happening in the general area of sales taxes, which operators of businesses are forced to collect. collect. (Alberta, which happily has no sales tax, is the obvious exception). In most provinces, sales tax need not be collected on candy, confections and soft drinks if the value is less than a predetermined ceiling. In Ontario, for example, items costing less than 49 cents are not taxable. The low sales tax exemption exemption ceilings, of course, create a great deal of hardship for the tens of thousands of entrepreneurs entrepreneurs operating busy smaller smaller retail and confectionary outlets across the country. For instance, a customer purchasing two 35 cent chocolate chocolate bars for 70 cents is taxed. Yet if the individual pays for the items separately, no tax applies. More and more, it seems, retailers are forced to double their efforts =iv com pleting two transactions rather than one. And that's a nuisance, nuisance, particularly when other customers are waiting for service. service. , . The solution to the problem: problem: all provincial governments governments should consider increasing increasing the sales tax exemption to at least $1 to keep pace with inflation. ', People operating thè na-. tion's restaurants, dining 'rooiqs and eating establishments establishments have similar difficulties. The ceiling on sales tax exempt exempt meals has remained low, while food and operating, costs, whicli control the prices of meals, have risen steadily. These days, it is not unusual unusual to find customers asking fqr Separate bills (which beats the system in some provinces), or refusing to order an additional additional coffee or dessert because because the bill would become taxable when the amount surpassed surpassed the predetermined ceiling. ceiling. The solution: raise the sales tax exemption ceilings to higher levels to keep pace with escalating costs. Both operators of smaller firms and their customers would be delighted to get rid of these ."nuisances". Kendal News "You are here for such a short visit. Don't forget to smell the flowers."
