After listening to a talk show and those small business owner make a point that HST really hurts them.

It is the HST on those perishable items, they have to pay the tax in advance and claim it back after the sale. not like the old days you collect the GST for the Govrt. after the sale and get a adm fee back. So you buy $100 goods for sale and sold only $50 and the rest is going to write off. Then, the tax on the $50 left goods is absorb by the business owner.

So, it is not only about less customers, it is also the rise in operation cost , not quite like the Govrt say you save adm cost

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.
