David Piccolo Commodity Tax (GST/HST)
In general, commodity taxes in Canada include customs, the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) and provincial taxes, such as the gasoline, alcohol and tobacco taxes, and other excise taxes. These taxes are an important consideration for Canadian business owners and anyone associated with Canada, as the tax landscape is becoming increasingly complex and tax implications increasingly significant commercially.
Whenever you’re engaged in a corporate or commercial transaction – whether it’s the import or export of goods or rendering services in Canada or between the Canadian provinces – you should consult with a lawyer with expertise in commodity tax or GST/HST. The tax professionals at TaxChambers LLP can provide you with reliable advice about the various obligations to charge, collect and remit tax to the Canada Revenue Agency.
