So you are worried about this? It’s nothing compared to what is going to come with Trudy and Jaggy at the helm. Did someone say capital gains tax on you primary residence? Oh it’s coming!

I'm worried if I go out I might get run over.
No limit to what may or may not happen.
So I'll go out and enjoy the summer, especially Kingston in June

Hope to see you in Kingston. I’m looking forward to this one!
 
While I completely oppose any additional form of tax, I really do wonder what impact the luxury tax will have on the used car market. If the dead-net cost goes up for new vehicles, does that mean that used sellers can demand a higher price to re-coup the cost of the tax? Or will sellers see that as a sunk cost that goes to servicing the National debt?
 
there was a approximate 10 page article or a study where in the USA about half a dozen states did the same tax and it decreased the revenues for the state that imposes the new tax

what happens is people change there buying habits to reduce or eliminate the tax

the original taxes on the old purchase are now gone, the new tax is not collected, the dealer makes less money and so on

so,the bottom line was less revenue for each state so all 6 or more states have dropped that luxury tax

the turd and mutely and ndppppppppp are nuts, basic economics at play and they only know part of the grade 2 math curriculum

wish I could find the link to the repost from this year or last in the usa

but in our case the old tax is not eliminated, we just have a new tax on top of the old tax.
 
yes I should have made that clear

when you combine the 2 taxes the spending habits change to provide less overall revenue to the govt or powers that be
I agree that some will choose to spend less, but on the other hand with chip shortage, there are 3 buyers for every desirable car made. I for one have 3 cars that I want, all are 135K-140K and all have long waitlists.

ROFL!
Any reason to get more money out of us by anyone else is considered fair game
No one is going to pay for someone else in a business transaction. It called "Don't leave money on the table"
or in the consumer's pocket.
