Fitness Tax considered 'short sighted' within gym industry
CTV
The Saskatchewan fitness industry isn’t looking to carry the PST load for the provincial government.
An advocate group recently came out with a petition, which has been signed by around 5,000 people. It calls on the government to drop its 6 per cent hike, which is set to take effect in October.
For those at the local level, it isn’t appreciated.
“People are very frustrated because prices [are rising] across the board,” said Edward de Vries, owner of Yorkton’s Anytime Fitness. “Increasing food costs. Fuel costs are going up. Housing costs are going up. It seems like it's just another thing that the government is burdening the citizens with.”
De Vries was quick to point out the various positives the gym industry provides for the public.
