Once marijuana becomes legal in Canada, we won’t have to pay PST.
The province has decided to not charge PST on recreational marijuana. The reasoning? They want to keep legal market prices low.
That being said, the Pallister government already announced there will be a fee of six percent added to a retailer’s income and the government is charging an additional 75 cents per gram… That’s not all, an additional nine per cent is added as well, at the wholesale distribution level.
The money will go towards paying for public education, safety, enforcement and addictions programs.
