Hello
All;
Starting on February 1st, 2005 the
Alberta Government will be implementing it's Electronics Recycling Tax.
This tax will be placed on the vast majority of consumer and business
electronics, some of which include TV's, Computers, Monitors, Lap-tops, and
Printers. The fees for such products may vary depending on size (in the
case of TV's). This fee must be charged on these products without
exception.
Here is the breakdown on the
proposed charges that will effect us
directly: - Computer System = $10.00
- Computer Monitor =
$12.00
- Printer =
$8.00
- Notebooks =
$5.00
As you can see, the average system
will rise in price by $22.00, which is non-refundable at any point. Based
on this information, I would recommend if you have any planned purchases
in the next 3 months or so for anything electronic, to pick it up this
month. Below are some links that you may
find helpful in better understanding this new
fee. Program
