The CMTA is trying to get Massage Therapy exempt from HST. Why is this important?? As an RMT, we are the only health care provider that has to charge and collect HST. By passing this bill, it puts us as Massage therapists on a level playing field with other health care professionals. We are not a “good” to be taxed, we are a health care service. This is why your massage therapy treatments cannot be filed as a tax deduction for health care at the end of the year.
How would HST exemption benefit clients?
RMT’s would be considered equal within the health care profession which would help with legislating our profession
We would be able to lower our prices since we wouldn’t be collecting HST anymore. This could mean more treatments in the span of a year.
I encourage all my clients to use the QR code to sign the petition. I also have one in the clinic that clients can use as well.
