CTV BC: Confusion over HST in BC
Many British Columbians are angered and confused by the new harmonized sales tax (HST) that is set to be implemented July 1. More than 400,000 British Columbians have now signed the Anti-HST petition, many of whom are confused by 
what items will be subjected to the new tax and what will be exempt. Many think the HST will be applied to all purchases, but that's not the case. Many items such as groceries and prescription drugs will not be affected by the new tax. What other items are HST exempt in BC? It's not exactly clear. Ontario has released a document explaining what will and will not be taxed. A similar HST list has not been released in B.C., but Minister of Finance Colin Hansen says one is on the way."When we saw what Ontario had done on and put up on their website I immediately said this makes sense, let's actually copy what Ontario's done," Hansen told CTV News. "That should be up on our website very soon."
