GREAT VICTORY FOR OUR INDUSTRY

CBA and RCC have been lobbying on behalf of all merchants for many years to ensure that government officials, media and the public understood the reasons behind some of the price gaps between products sold in Canada and the United States.

Key recommendations including the elimination of import tariffs, the need to better harmonization regulations between both countries, the need to eliminate taxes on Canadian books are all highlighted in the report.

In addition, thanks to the support of many of our members, CBA and RCC were successful in shining the light on country pricing and how this practice often impacts the price of goods in Canada.

Thank you for your support - We will now be asking the Federal Government to reflect key recommendations in its upcoming 2013 Budget.

THE PENNY STOPS HERE

As you are probably aware, on February 4, the Canadian Mint has now stopped circulating pennies to financial institutions and will also be encouraging them to send back any pennies that they have on hand.

The penny phase-out is big news for retailers, CBA and RCC are committed to being your go-to source for information.

CBA and RCC have developed a number of resources to help our members manage this change to their businesses.

Here you will find answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs); material that you can use at Point of Sale to inform your customers of the change; copies of the rounding guidelines suggested by the federal government and many other helpful links and references.
