So, I'm semi retired but still in a high marginal tax bracket here in Canada, lets say 45% or so. Our VAT ( actually called HST - Harmonized Sales Tax ) , was increased from 13% to 15% last week. So when you think it thru, thats really a 3% tax increase before taxes.
So, I kinda discuss it with the wife. Its really really reached the point where its not worth earning the money anymore. I think I will really ER and enjoy the free healthcare while it lasts!
Fuzzy math maybe....
But what I get is.. 15%/13% = 1.153846... or a 15% increase in your HST....
