Large Purchases

[Papi Chulo]

Have you delayed buying anything to save the 1% in GST until after July 1?

I'm not going to see any more SP's this month unless they do a rollback right away. I'm looking at all the financial positions and how best to utilize their ASSets.

Nope. 1% off the purchase price of anything means sweet F-all.

Not if you are about to drop 50 grand on a new car. 500 bucks is 500 bucks.

It's a joke...the change will just screw up businesses with invoicing and having to re-program cash registers. You're just going to have more pennies in your pocket, but not dollars. The Dollar stores loved it because with 15% they didn't have to deal with pennies.

If you look after the pennies, the dollars will look after themselves

Well I think only major purchases like houses, vehicles etc will only really be affected by the GST change. Low ticket items while you are supposed to get for 1% less, doesn't really amount to much.

Most car dealers are offering the discount now and put that into the deal. So if you bought a car in the last month or so you should have either gotten the discount put into the deal, or you will receive a rebate cheque in the mail.
