In other words, a tax is collected on the product that is bought, and the GST is based on this added value to the product that is bought. So, we are talking about a loss of $6 million in value added taxes, which is the tax on the tax, and of $500 million in QST, which medium and large businesses must pay on certain products called inputs, such as vehicles and gas.
Il s'agit donc d'une perte de 6 millions de dollars de taxes sur la valeur ajoutée, qui est la taxe sur la taxe, ainsi que de 500 millions de dollars en TVQ, que les moyennes et grandes entreprises paient sur certains produits qu'on appelle les intrants, comme les véhicules et les carburants, et qui ne leur est pas remboursée.
