this is one thing pp is right on, you are going to get raped on pricing one everything just based on the fact that stores will have to reprogram all their registers to remove the tax (only on specific things) for two months, then pay to have their registers corrected once the tax need to be put back. every store/restaurant etc is just going to pass this cost onto you. you won't pay 13 cents tax on your box of slop, but rather then costing 7$ your box of slop will be 9$. furthermore the gst is used to service our debt, every penny of it goes to servicing the debt, if we stop collecting it for two months we are in real shit and that money will need to come from somewhere else.
