HST means money put back into the pockets of employees at a family-owned small business on Vancouver Island.
We calculated the savings as a result of the HST and we decided to take that money and give raises to our 38 employees. We explained to them that this raise was thanks to B.C.B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s tax harmonization.
We are now saving seven per cent on input tax credits and we are investing that money back into our employees.
