Another federal budget passed - another year of Registered Massage Therapists not exempt from HST. So disappointing.
Did you know we are one of the only health care providers to still charge and remit HST?
Once upon a time we were told that when we have 5 regulated provinces, we could be HST exempt. That happened in 2019. Saskatchewan is close to regulation and that will make 6.
5 years later, we are still not exempt. Despite hundreds of emails on our association's behalf to the Ontario Minister of Health, thousands of signatures petitioning this, and emails to MP's.
Massage Therapists are health care providers. We should be exempt from HST to offer more affordable health care. Just like these providers, that are already exempt;
Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Chiropractors, Chiropodists, Physiotherapists, Naturopaths, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Podiatrists & Dieticians.
