The government on Thursday announced a sweeping promise to make groceries, children's clothing, Christmas trees, restaurant meals and more free from GST/HST between Dec. 14 and Feb. 15.
The government says removing GST from these goods for a two-month period would save $100 for a family that spends $2,000 on those goods during that time. For those in provinces with HST, a family spending $2,000 would save $260. These include prepared foods such as vegetable trays and pre-made meals, as well as snacks such as chips, candy and granola bars.
Children's footwear and clothing used exclusively for sports or recreational activities will not be included in the tax break. This includes costumes.
