Ontario Harmonized Sales Tax
-
The new Harmonized sales tax became law in Ontario in December 2009
-
The City of Burlington, like other municipalities across Ontario, is collecting the OHST on behalf of the federal and provincial governments
-
The new OHST will mean consumers are paying a 13% harmonized sales tax as of July 1, 2010
-
This represents a blend of the 8% provincial sales tax with the 5% GST
-
Some items previously not subject to the provincial sales tax may now be affected by an 8% tax increase
