We had a tax on alcohol here in Aus, but as of this morning, we don't anymore!!!!
... So you can now get drunk for a cheaper price to forget about the global economic situation.
Wish our provincial minister of finances had the same idea... Instead, she is rising the TVQ of 1% (from 7.5% to 8.5%)... A few years after Canadian prime minister Harper lowered the GST to 5%.
So now, whenever you buy something in a store over here, you'll have to pay (GST + TVQ) 13.5% taxes.
I think she's missing a major point : in order to force peoples to spend money during an econimic crisis, you gotta lower taxes... not raise them !
One more God damned good reason for me to mail order stuff.
