It generally doesn't matter to most people... because they'll be paying the same amount of tax when they buy a hair dryer from Walmart.

But for people that need to hire lawyers and accountants and pay office rent.... it matters.

I have a client across the border and I will be discounting my invoices by 8%. I will charge the HST and a give them a discount just to keep them happy. I'm eating that $ for dinner.

The VAT component is confusing because this is administered by Ontario, not Ottawa. How will it apply to doing business locally, provincially or internationally? I don't know? That'll be for my accountant to figure out.... who will also be charging me 8% more to figure that out.
