Shoppers and businesses across Canada are expressing mixed feelings and showing little enthusiasm as a two-month break from the federal GST took effect on Saturday.
Lori Parker, the owner of an independent toy store in Toronto, said the sales tax holiday could be good for business because it makes shopping cheaper for customers, but the measure means more work for her staff over the holiday season.
“It does give them a break on costs,” she said. “But we knew from the get-go that it would be a lot of work.”
