Dalton McGuinty’s Gift to Newlyweds: an HST Tax Grab on Summer Weddings

News:

Today Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak and Ted Chudleigh, MPP Halton, warned couples getting married this summer to expect an unwelcome guest at the wedding: Dalton McGuinty. In three weeks, Dalton McGuinty’s HST tax grab will force Ontario newlyweds to pay more for wedding planners, hall rentals, decorators, DJs and bands, photographers and many other items needed for their big day.

When Ontario newlyweds go on their honeymoon, Dalton McGuinty will be right there too with his hand in their wedding purse, hiking taxes on gas on romantic limo rides, flights, hotels and motels.

And as the young couple starts out on their life together, Dalton McGuinty will be there increasing the tax on buying a new home or condo, renting an apartment, and adding to the cost of home heating, electricity, Internet and many more items young couples need.
