THE RED Cross has been in North Vancouver for 75 years. And to mark the event a special an-
niversary was held recently at North Lonsdale United Church. Pictured is Red Cross president

Q: I’m thinking of buying a new car in 1991.
How will the proposed GST affect prices?

A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is
now part of the price of new cars. So, while
they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991,
the expected effect of replacing the FST
with the GST on the average $22,000 a
mid-size car is a reduction of around $850.

Q: My son has figured out it will cost $500 in
lumber to build a deck at our cottage if he
bought it now. How much will that lumber
cost with the proposed GST?

A: You can expect to pay about $512 for
that same amount of lumber for personal
use based solely on the changeover from

the FST to the GST.

Q: I know the proposed GST won’ apply to city
bus fares but I take the commuter train to work.
Will I have to pay GST?
