    I live in California where there is no food tax unless it's hot food. When I go Grocery shopping I never notice what I'm taxed, However when I clothes shop or buy items other than food I notice because it is 10 percent sales tax. If Dom loves pancakes you must let him know it is without a doubt the most easiest thing to make at home. The mix is already made all you have to do is add water or milk and in some cases an egg. I wonder how you make something that easy sound complicated. LOL. Good Luck Guys!

      You’re so lucky to not get taxed on food. I wish that Canada would follow this logic. Anything concerning cooking is always complicated to me 🤣🤣🤣

      Yes I forgot about hot prepared foods are taxed. I remember (at Walmart) they charged me for distilled water and I had to get it from the isle where baby products are (formula). LOLOL I was in a hurry so I couldn’t argue with them.

      @MrMwurm Před 9 měsíci

      Another term used to tax things is prepared food. If you buy the stuff un-prepared here you can avoid some taxes.
      Clothes and made items are taxed.
      And most shop s that use labor to make them is taxed

      @@roamwithromy Fresh food is largely NOT taxed in Canada. Usually processed, packaged or refined foods are. Food that is considered essential like milk, eggs, bread are not taxed. But it varies by province.
      We don't add the price in to retail tags mostly as custom because we used to have a manufacturing tax that was replaced by the GST and that was always unknown and put onto manufacturers and then they would blindly pass it on to consumers when they added the GST, it was supposed to be transparent what was being taxed. You can still do that by leaving the whole price on the retail tag and calculate in your head how much was for GST and PST, Some retailers do add the whole price like in tourists shops you will see that or in restaurants in touristy towns because foreigners hate the guessing game lol

  • @iamblackLuna
    @iamblackLuna Před 9 měsíci +3

    You should visit the Mainland, e.g. Vancouver, sometimes for more variety. The GST, TPS, etc are so frustrating! Add all that to the income tax where government takes close to half of your annual pay. Any wonder many Canadians can't save, buy a house, or retire? I love Canada, BC, and Victoria but it's been really hard in recent years. It's like you're working and getting salary increases just to be able to pay rent and buy food.

    US food- no tax, non food item -tax.

    Romy, sounds like you’re in trouble with them pancakes and messing up Dom’s clean kitchen during the process.😂😂😂😂 I have a great banana bread recipe, let me know if you want me to dm you. Dom can’t live in NY especially Long Island! Our state tax & Fed are 8.63%! Bad idea to add taxes to each item! For those who want to make certain their bills are correct, double checking while on line would be crazy😂😂😂 it’s done to separate state and federal taxes.
