I bought a TV recently for $287 without tax. I notice now from looking at the receipt that I was charged an NS “eco-fee,” of $25, which is meant to go toward funding gov’t electronics disposal depots. Fine. But my question is why did they apply the HST on top of the original amount AND the eco-fee. Seems like a tax of a tax. Wouldn’t it be more fair to just apply the HST on the original price?

This is a new Fee for recycling old Tv’sweither or not you do it you still have to pay the $25 fee
I’m aware of that. For the point of my bitch, please re-read the last three sentences of it.
Way to half read the bitch and miss the point. Some people’s kids…
