$$$ How Does Our Provincial Government Pay for Services? $$$
Our government needs money to pay for things like schools, hospitals, highways, and courts. Where does this money come from?

SALES TAX!

We pay sales tax on items we buy.

Sometimes tax is sometimes represented byHST. Receipts are proof that shows what you bought and how much money it was.

Sales Tax Challenge!

Take out a piece of paper. Write your name at the top. Number your paper 1-13. I will pass out a receipt for everyone. When the timer starts, you will have 60 seconds to find the sales tax or HST on the receipt and write down how much money it is next to that number. After the time is up, pass your receipt on! If you do not get all the numbers, don't worry! This is just for fun! :)
