Toronto: Rain tax will be imposed in Canada. There is anger among the people after the announcement of this tax by the government. The more rain water goes into the drain, the more tax people will have to pay. Canadian citizens still pay taxes on water. The announcement of rain tax will put a huge financial burden on the people. It has not yet been made clear when the tax will start. This was being considered for a long time.
Storm water management is a major problem in most Canadian cities, including Toronto and Ottawa. Rainwater flows into drains, but is not properly disposed of, resulting in flooding of roads. During the rainy season, roads get blocked due to water logging everywhere. Many people had to face problems when such a problem arose in the capital Ottawa. Since such situations are happening again and again, the government has now decided to impose rain tax. According to this, those whose houses have the highest water flow will have to pay more tax.
This strange tax is being discussed not only in Canada but all over the world. People are protesting against this in Canada. Canada is one of those countries where taxes are high. Many high taxes ranging from personal tax to property tax, water tax etc. are paid by the citizens of Canada. Now there is anger among the citizens due to rain tax being added to it.
There will be no tax on water going underground. But the amount of water reaching the storm drainage system will be taxed. How this tax will be imposed is not yet clear, but it is likely to be metered. Those houses where rain water goes into the ground or remains in water storage will not be taxed. People whose household water does not go into the ground but directly into the drain will have to pay tax. What will happen to the fewer people living in large areas and how much tax will those living in dense areas get? All these questions have been raised.
Weird taxes around the world
Sweden has had a strange recovery. If the name of the child is not registered till the age of five years, then the government imposes tax on it. In Sweden, such a system was made to prevent common citizens from revealing the names of members of the royal family. Which is still going on. Denmark and New Zealand have approved a proposal to impose a tax on owners of cows burping. The government took this decision because methane gas comes out from the burps of cows. However, it was not implemented due to strong opposition. In China, different taxes were collected from all these. When the recession hit in 2009, the Chinese government decided to impose tax on cigarettes. But this method of tax collection was different. A decree was issued in China that any citizen who does not smoke cigarettes will have to pay tax.
