Businesses are expected to remove the GST on qualifying goods at checkout from Dec. 14 until Feb. 15, 2025 .
Items that qualify for the break include certain foods, beverages, meals, food and more.
Wine, cider and sake 22.9 per cent alcohol by volume or less also qualify, as do coolers and premixed alcoholic beverages.
Marika Styba , owner of Peaseblossoms Flowers , believes the break is not effectively supporting small businesses.
Being a florist, the work of Styba ’s business doesn’t fall under the tax break.
December is also the busiest month of the year for business, she said.
