British Columbians shouldn't bother checking their mailboxes for a pamphlet that was supposed to explain the benefits of the newly implemented harmonized sales tax.
Finance Minister Colin Hansen says it won't be coming.
He says the uproar over combining the federal and provincial sales taxes has died down since the 12 per cent levy was imposed on July 1.
Mr. Hanson says rollout of the HST has been smoother than expected and there's no need to clarify the government's reasons for turning to the tax, just weeks after the Liberals downplayed the idea during the 2009 provincial election.
Mr. Hansen says a radio advertising campaign about the value of the HST will be extended.
He says an information campaign as part of the government's regular pre-budget consultation will proceed this fall.
