Retail industry praises GST holiday but says it may be 'laborious' for some

Associations representing thousands of the country's retailers and restaurants said Thursday that omitting GST charges on toys, groceries, books and more for two months will be a quick process for some, but time consuming for others."Every retailer is going to be different because everyone's system is different, but it can range from being a simple fix to being quite laborious," said Matt Poirier, vice-president of federal government relations for the Retail Council of Canada.

Once they've identified what qualifies, Poirier said retailers will have to set up their point-of-sale software to cope with the changes. Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, agreed such tasks can be "reasonably straightforward" for restaurants and food service businesses, but said it "may add confusion and complexity for general retailers."

CFIB's Kelly has already heard from one retailer of children's products who fears missing so much of the busy shopping season will mean the cuts negatively affect sales. Several businesses he talked to said the changes would be "very doable," but Roy acknowledged "the size of the restaurant makes a big difference here."
