Beat the taxman - save 7% on your next vacation

It's tax time. You and your accountant are preparing your return and trying to find ways to save you money.

Do you know that the BC Government is about to implement a new "harmonized" sales tax?

Your 2010 fishing trip or holiday adventure with Oak Bay Marine Group is about to cost you 7% more because of this new tax. (I guess someone has to pay for the recent Olympics!)

But..... You can beat this tax .... and save 7% on this summer's vacation - if you confirm this summer's vacation BEFORE May 01st.

So, if you've been thinking of your summer holidays, and thinking you'll wait a while to make your plans .... Please.....don't wait. Come May, I'm going to have to become the tax collector, and charge you the added 7%. Believe you me, I'm not the least bit thrilled at the prospect. I love to sell fishing and holiday trips, and it's what I chose to do, and what I get paid to do. I did not chose to be a tax collector, and the BC government most certainly won't be paying me to do their job; but I will be spending a considerable amount of my time, and you will be spending a considerable amount of your money, to fund this new tax.

So, I would love to see us beat the taxman on this.

Call me, email me, post your comments......but if you're planning to travel in BC this summer....if you're thinking of a trip to one of our Oak Bay Marine Group Resorts......get it booked NOW, and save the added tax.
