Itwas agreed that The Retail Sales Tax Act was the fairest'and-most practi- cal way for residents of Ontario to contribute to the cost Of their schools, hospitals and other essential services. Before drawing up the Ontario Retail Sales•Tax Act, . your government closely studied the retail sales taxes of seven other Canadian provinces and Many states of. the U.S.A. The Ontario Retail Sales Tax. Act has the broadest exemptions of any of these retail sales taxes. Only two other provinces have a tax rate As low as Ontario. Collection of Tax , Those Who regularly sell goods as a normal part of their bilsiness must apply to be registered as vendors. Those Who have applied are now receiving theit permits. s : They will collect 3% tax on the, price of goods sold to the. ultimate "consumer. The tax will be collected only once. Thus, a registered wholesaler will purchase goods fbi resale tax free from the manufacturer. He in turn *ill sell to the retailer on a tax free basis. Then the re- tailer will collect the tax when he sells to the• consumer. Major Consumer Exemptions Most of the day-to-day necessities of life are free of sales tax. Food, prescribed drugs and medical sup- plies, and children's clothing are all tax exempt. Heating fuel, electricity and gasoline are exempt. Newspapers, magazines and books are exempt. No tax applies on ',..Jestaurant meals charged separately. at $1.50 or less. ,Each sale of less than 170 is exempt. These and many other exemptions are discussed in detail on special cards that are now being mailed to retailers and other vendors. Homes Not Taxable Houses and other buildings are real property and are not subject to tax under this Act. The building con- tractor pays tax on materials incorporated into the home or other structure but no tax is payable on the labour that constitutes a large part of the total price of $ home. If furnishings such as draperies, stoves and refriges. ators are sold with a home, tax is payable, on the fail value of such furnishings. Services Not Taxable Only items of merchandise that are moveable,-and tel phone services, except long distance calls, are subject to the tax. Those persons selling "services," such as bathers; beauty shops, launderers and dry cleaners, do not collect tax, but must pay tax on the materials they use in supply. ing their service. However, if a repair service includes substantial quantities of parts or material, the entire bill will be taxable unless the materials are shown as: separate charge from the labour. • Casual Sales When an individual sells goods privately, the trans.actloe is a "casual" sale. In such cases the purchaser and not the seller of taxable goods is responsible to report the purchase and pay the sales tax on the purchase price to the Retail Sales Tax Branch, Office of the Comptroller of Revenue. Instalment Purchases Sales tax is.due on the total price when the sale is made, even though payments may continue over a long period of time. Finance charges are also taxable unless quoted and itemized separately. Trade-ins The actual selling price minus the amount of theAdde411 allowance is the amount upon which sales tax is Payab* Farming Farmers will be exempt from tax on most equipment, oia agricultural seeds and feeds, on drugs and medicines for livestock and on many other commodities used directly in the business of farming. Exports and Imports Goods exported from Ontario are not taxable since the tax is applicable only to goods used in Ontario. No tax is payable under this Act by manufacturers on goods they purchase for use in the production of goods for sale. Thus, their competitive position in the export market is maintained without change after the introduction of this tax. Goods imported into Ontario are taxable since they are purchased for use in Ontario. The purchaser of the imported goods is subject to the same tax he would have to pay to an Ontario Vendor if he purchased the .goods in Ontario. Rental of Moveable Property The person who acquribs possession of moveable prop. erty by paying a rental price for its use is regarded as a purchaser of such property under the Act and tax is payable by him on the rental price paid.
