bus fares but I take the commuter train to work.

YOU ASKED
THE GST

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.
Q; 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.
