HST Refund Cheques
Permalink Closed

 

Sometime this year,  we taxpayers will receive an 'HST Compensation' payment.

  This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it byusing a Q & A format:
   
  Q.  What is an 'HST Compensation' payment ?
 
  A.  It is money that the provincial government will send to taxpayers.
   
  Q..  Where will the government get this money ?
 
  A.  From taxpayers.
   
  Q.  So the government is giving me back my own money ?
 
  A.  Only a smidgen of it.
   
  Q.  What is the purpose of this payment ?
 
  A.  The plan is for you to use the money to purchase ahigh-definition TV set,  thus stimulating the economy.
   
  Q.  But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
 
  A.  Shut up.
   
  Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the economy byspending your compensation cheque wisely:             
 
      *  If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart,  the money willgo to China or Sri Lanka ...
   
      *  If you spend it on gasoline,  your money will go to theArabs.
 
      *  If you purchase a computer,  it will go to India , Taiwan orChina .
   
      *  If you purchase fruit and vegetables,  it will go to Mexico ,Honduras and Guatemala ..
  
      *  If you buy an efficient  car,  it will go to Japan or Korea .
 
      *  If you purchase useless stuff,  it will go to Taiwan .
 
      *  If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock,  it will go
To management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
 
  Instead,  keep the money in Canada by:
 
  1)  Spending it at yard sales,  or    
 
  2)  Going tohockey  games,  or  
 
  3)  Spending it on a hooker,  or    
 
  4)  Beer or    
 
  5) Tattoos.
   
  (These are the only Canadian businesses still operating in Canada .)

  Conclusion:
 
  Go to a hockeygame with a tattooed hooker you met at a yardSale and drink beer all day !
 
  No need to thank me,  I'm just glad I could be of help.
 
That just about covers

Don't get me going on the HST. We broke a record for all time highest Hydro/Water bill this month - $586! Of course $58 is HST. We pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country and I hear the province PAID $1.46 MILLION to Quebec and the U.S to take some of their surplus electricity.
Read about it HERE
I didn't get an HST cheque furious

Do you know how much you pay per kwh in Ontario? We pay 9.85 cents per kwh.  My monthly bill is over $500 too, for the coldest months. This includes everything, I have no water, sewage bill, or gas or any other utility, so I tell myself that it could be worse. I have never heard of HST rebates?

Table 2 - Ontario Sales Tax Transition Benefit

Benefits would be delivered to eligible Ontario tax filers aged 18 and over in each of June 2010, December 2010 and June 2011, totalling a maximum of $300 for single people and $1,000 for single parents and couples. Each maximum benefit would be reduced by five per cent of the recipients previous years adjusted family net income over $80,000 for single individuals and over $160,000 for families. To qualify for the two benefits in 2010, a 2009 tax return would have to be filed, and a 2010 tax return would have to be filed for the June 2011 benefit. About 6.5 million individuals and families in Ontario would receive sales tax transition benefits.

A single person with no children and income of up to $80,000 would receive a benefit of $100 in each of June 2010, December 2010 and June 2011. The maximum benefit would be reduced by five per cent of income over $80,000, so a single person with income of $81,000, for example, would receive three benefits of $50 each. Single people with income over $82,000 would not receive a benefit.

A family with income of up to $160,000 would receive three benefits: $330 in June 2010, $335 in December 2010 and $335 in June 2011. The maximum benefits would be reduced by five per cent of family income over $160,000, so a family with income of $163,000, for example, would receive one benefit payment of $180 and two benefit payments of $185 each. Families with income over $166,700 ($166,600 for the June 2010 benefit) would not receive a benefit.

promised to issue special HST rebates to people meeting certain criteria, in order to ease the transition to the new tax.no

sounds like the Ontario government thinks a little 'reach around' will cause its residents not to notice they are being shafted prison style.

We added two gas fireplaces (house had 2 wood fireplaces (I on each level) in the 90's..  and we use electric in kitchen and bathrrom only..  My Garage is electric..   BUT we get yanked on sewage and water!  

Of the bill last month $375.00 for hydro $131.00 water & sewage $52.00 HST tax   They read it every other month..    My average is $390.00 per month   Union Gas for fireplaces last month was $127.00....  averages  50.00 per month.....  Add on $250.00 for taxes and there we are...  
We have morgage paid off, but utilities are the same as morgage payment was!!

We will stay here until the money runs out...  in 2013

The granny flat has two 1500 watt heaters. The rest of the house is heated by natural gas (including my garage). Our drier is also nat gas. However, with the granny flat we have two fridges and one freezer. Our stove is also electric. I even converted my furnace to an 80watt dc motor and I don't see much difference. We are going to try to turn off all phantom loads at bedtime (computer power supplies etc) and see if this helps. We even converted to 13watt CF bulbs! Just wait until they activate the smart meters. We'll be screwed as my wife is home all day as a caregiver for her mom.
