  • Following the federal government's approval of the tax discount, the Ontario government agreed to match it. What items will be exempt from sales tax during GST/HST holiday in Ontario?

The article from InsideHalton discusses the upcoming GST/HST sales tax holiday in Ontario, set to begin on July 4, 2023, and last until July 10, 2023. During this period, certain items will be exempt from the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the provincial Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The tax holiday aims to provide financial relief to consumers by reducing the cost of back-to-school shopping. Items eligible for the tax exemption include clothing and footwear under $100 per item, children's diapers, and qualifying school supplies like notebooks, pens, and calculators. This initiative is expected to encourage spending, boost local economies, and ease the financial burden on families preparing for the new school year.
