Families earning under 160k/year get back $1000 (333/333/334) whoopdy fuking doooo.
I always laugh when The Dalton Gang calls it "Revenue Neutral". Def not payment neutral on my end.
Oh well $1000 buys a lot of vasoline.
Not according to the NDP.
this
and this
As for the HST, yup we will all be paying more after Canada Day, for everything. But this will be better for the economy as a whole and, long term, there will be price reductions in certain areas. At least, that has been the experience in other jurisdictions that have gone this route.
We'll see . . . I don't like tax increases, but any improvement for the economy means fewer jobs are likely to go by the wayside.
Ontario bribe ... er I mean grant.
No you just get less, if your making 160k, I don't think you would give a hoot about a few hundred.
So you believe in the Robin Hood theory?
Yup!
Except it is the rich get richer nowadays:)
You don't tell them about your poker income wetts, geeeesh
So then lets be real and not call it a tax credit.
I am not being credited for the increased taxes I am going to be paying.
Lets be real and call it social assistance.
coool, I don't care what it is called really;)
I do lol that they say it's going to help the economy, NOT!
I also lol that people got it today but they dated it for tomorrow and banks won't take it.:rolleyes2:
Wetts, I reject the idea of these payments as social assistance. They are a bribe, pure and simple. The intent is to mollify people's anger over the impending increase to their level of taxation (bet you tax freedom day moves to late June next year). The fact that the gov't is doing this over time is just another way to help deflect anger heading into the (distant) provincial election.
Also, calling out Wetts for his poker winnings is bush-league. He may play like a pro, but it is not his sole source of income (to my knowledge), and therefore should remain beyond the reach of the CRA.
I support this description.
not current enough on hst, forget what i read, i just know taxes help the tax conscious and take from the un educated. as for wetts, those ft's after that rant was uncalled for.
maybe i don't understand but in b.c. the are trying to reverse the hst position. did the government pre give money so people would have to give it back if they voted no?
hahahaha, you must be too rich:p:p:p:p
Family benefit, ie couple.. or single parent
******************************************
A family with income of up to $160,000 would receive three benefits: $330 in June 2010, $335 in December 2010 and $335 in June 2011. The maximum benefits would be reduced by five per cent of family income over $160,000, so a family with income of $163,000, for example, would receive one benefit payment of $180 and two benefit payments of $185 each. Families with income over $166,700 ($166,600 for the June 2010 benefit) would not receive a benefit.
************************************************
Single, no dependants..
************************************************
A single person with no children and income of up to $80,000 would receive a benefit of $100 in each of June 2010, December 2010 and June 2011. The maximum benefit would be reduced by five per cent of income over $80,000, so a single person with income of $81,000, for example, would receive three benefits of $50 each. Single people with income over $82,000 would not receive a benefit.
************************************************
Looks like you single guys need to either get married or find a kid to support real quick...
