Learn how to stay compliant when your business sells products to Canada.
Many U.S.-based businesses are looking to expand their market to include Canada. Gain an understanding of the sales tax implications of selling goods or services to customers in Canada as well as recent developments for U.S. businesses already doing business with Canada. Learn when registration and collection of Canada's federal and provincial sales taxes are mandatory and when it is voluntary as well as the potential implications of registering on income tax and other regulatory requirements. This topic will review common compliance issues including determining what is taxable as well as how to determine the rate of tax to be charged. In addition, this material will review the critical provincial sales tax issues for U.S.-based organizations so that the implications can be considered and planned for. This information will include a review of the many special sales tax rules for non-resident sellers including transferring GST/HST and QST to customers, special drop shipment rules and rebates and refund programs to minimize the cost for U.S.-based businesses.
