High class Chinese restaurants are more expensive than high class Japanese restaurants. Japanese restaurants are in general lower class, even those owned by the Japanese. They serve serve you uncooked raw fish and pretend to be high class.

if it is that easy, how come those non-jap owned restaurants cannot serve u the same good quality "raw fish"...........well, its ok, u have your own world.
Your example is confused. I believe in that case business can claim that back without the issue that you have mentioned... For goods that have to pay PST in the old days, no difference; For goods & service that don't need to pay PST previously, yes, you have to pay more in advance, but still, you can claim that back from the gov't. It's more like a cash flow problem instead because I know some small business sometime use up the tax portion as their normal cash flow running daily operation, which is not appropriate and unwise...
I just want to be clear and fair in this discussion, if you think I'm wrong you can point that out... Thanks!
HST/GST are basically tax neutual for business, it only affects terminal consumers.
Say you buy flowers to sell and you pay in advance the HST in full.
Then, you only sold half of your inventory and the rest die and write off.
You then cannot get back the 50% HST you paid in advance cause there is no transaction.
Or, you can say the florist had add all expense in the sales price and that is another issue.
