title: Harmonized sales tax a taxing issue for MDs in Atlantic Canada.
abstract: Physicians in 3 atlantic provinces say the linking of provincial sales taxes with the GST exacerbates the inequity physicians face because it yet again adds to their overhead costs. Physicians in Nova Scotia have already won an annual rebate to compensate them for the heavier tax burden. Doctors in the Maritimes warn that heavier taxes make recruiting there even more difficult.
