GST subsidizes U.S. publishers
Year Published: 1992Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX4432 Abstract: Canadian publishers are angry the goods and services tax (GST) is subsidizing U.S. book and magazine publishers at their expenses. Canadian publishers are compelled to charge GST on their prices, while many U.S. publishers selling into Canada don't, although in theory they are supposed to. As a result, Canadian publications are now seven per cent more expensive than U.S. competitors. This item appeared in Issue #54 (February 1992) of the Connexions Digest. |
