OTTAWA, ON: Marking its 13th annual Gas Tax Honesty Day, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is renewing its call for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to stop the practice of charging H/GST on top of provincial and federal gas taxes – the tax-on-tax.
“At one time Stephen Harper’s Conservatives were committed to ending the nefarious practice of charging the GST on the entire pre-tax price of gasoline and the provincial and federal gas taxes, we’re hoping he still feels the same way,” said CTF National Research Director Derek Fildebrandt.
