Golf Cart Tax Shock in Toronto | Vancouver News
Description
A Toronto-based small business owner, Joseph McLuckie, faces a $178,000 tax bill after Canadian customs reclassified his three-wheeled electric golf carts as EVs — triggering a 100% surtax. Once taxed at just 6.1%, his company JPSMGolf now risks collapse with only six employees. Despite appeals and a remission request, border officials stand firm, citing dictionary definitions of motor vehicles. The move reflects broader trade policies aimed at protecting Canada’s auto industry — but for McLuckie, it’s a crushing blow that could shutter his business.
