Default New Luxury Tax on Gliders in Canada

The Canadian Government? An amusing phrase. Perhaps you meant to say the cowering, bought and paid for, Chinese Communist Propaganda Gargling, Canadian Sock Puppets?

Don’t get angry about taxes. Check your privilege and share the bounty! I suggest that you learn to enjoy this new Canadian “Luxury” tax. Think of it as a privilege to be asked to pay it. Considering that Canada is an enlightened country which has voted for Justin Trudip (and his ilk) TWICE in a row, it really should be much worse by now. One could easily argue that you “high on the hog” Canadian fancy sailplane owners are getting off quite easily with “ONLY” a 20% Canadian FU Evil Rich Tax.

Now Cheer Up and be sure to mail in YOUR FAIR SHARE immediately!

Today, the Canadian government announced that a new luxury tax (Italian style) will be implemented Jan 1st, 2022. The tax applies to vehicles retailing for CDN$100,000 (equivalent to US$80,000) at the rate of 10% on total price or 20% on price over CDN$100,000, whichever is less. The sales tax of 13% in Ontario, applies to the total price marked up by the luxury tax! The luxury tax applies to cars, aircraft and boats (at CDN$250,000), but what was amazing (in a bad way) is that they singled out gliders specifically in the announcement yet I’ll bet that far less than 10 new gliders are sold in Canada each year. Seems like the politicians like their boats - no other way to explain the difference for them.
