VICTORIA - A few hundred cyclists gathered outside the legislature in Victoria Wednesday to challenge the proposed harmonized sales tax on bicycles. The rally was organized by Saanich South NDP MLA Lana Popham who also presented a petition inside the legislature on behalf of 5000 people opposed to the tax hike. Bikes are currently exempt from the Provincial sales tax but if the HST is implemented on July 1st, 2010 it will be applied to bikes, bike repairs and related equipment. During question period Finance Minister Colin Hansen defended the moving saying the introduction of the HST is the single most important thing the government can do to stimulate the economy and create jobs. The Minster also says the government has brought in an HST tax credit to offset the incremental costs on things like new bikes and implemented and increase in the basic personal exemption. NDP leader Carole James is calling people to write letters to their MLAs and the Premier. An On-line petition is also being launched at www.fighthst.com
3.10 min. | 0 user rating		 Lana Popham organized a rally to express our opposition to the government's plan to impose a new tax on cycling. The HST will end a 30 year provincial tax exemption for bikes, bike gear and bike repair. The exemption recognized the health and environmental benefits of cycling. A government that taxes green transportation is a government going backwards. Check out www.squeakywheels.ca for more information.
