The HST to be introduced in 2010 will remove the exemption that currently exists in the provincial sales tax for bicycles, repairs and cycling equipment like helmets.
In effect, this government is reversing decades of smart governing practice and creating a disincentive to cycling.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE GOVERNMENT REVERSE ITS CURRENT PLAN TO IMPOSE A NEW 7% TAX ON CYCLING.
