Cities or counties in the United States of America have their own sales tax to help pay for their projects that their state or federal governments do not or refuse to pay for. New York City for example has a 4.625% sales tax and a 0.25% Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District sales tax, in addition to the state sales tax. Erie county (Buffalo) has a 4.75% sales tax, in addition to the state sales tax.
Maybe it is time for Toronto and other urban municipalities to look at a sales tax to help pay for projects that the provincial and federal governments refuse to help support. The 0.25% that NYC has to pay, is a good number to start with.
