AUBUT: When law becomes plunder

I run an accommodation business in Nipigon, Ontario. Like most small business owners, I and my meagre staff sweep the floors, change the lightbulbs, reconcile the books, and greet guests after long days because that is what it takes to keep the doors open. What I never signed up for, and never consented to, was becoming an unpaid tax collector for the Township. Yet they enacted a bylaw that demands I, and my staff, do so. Every motel and short-term rental must now calculate, collect, hold, and remit a Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) while absorbing all administrative costs. The penalty for refusing is fines and interest. There is no opt-out, and most importantly, there is no compensation.
