Since came into force last January 1, GST to 5% of the companies benefit. Multinationals such as McDonald's has benefited from lower than 1% of the GST to increase the prices of their products and thus compensate for the difference of 1% to pick her up in direct benefit. The customer does not see the difference and continue to pay a price similar to what he paid.
some concrete examples, the Quebec newspaper was sold $ 1.75 before declining to 1% of the GST, which was exactly $ 2 fee. Now, with the decrease of 1%, the price rose to $ 1.77 and stays the same price for the consumer since it still pays $ 2.
another example, the COOPSCO, Alma College, even with a drop of 1% of GST, the amount of a meal is always $ 5.49. Why, then lower the tax? If we pay the same price and that firms will get the 1% profit, I do not see how the promise of Stephen Harper is really interesting and beneficial to taxpayers than we are. Especially that sold us the idea, saying it was more advantageous for a tax cut. Beneficial for whom?
