Fall 2020 Economic Statement – sales tax update
With their most recent economic update, the federal government announced several new sales tax measures aimed at levelling the playing field between Canadian-owned and operated businesses and non-resident businesses that operate outside of Canada. Principally, these announced changes focus on foreign digital content services and supplies of intangibles in Canada. While these supplies have historically attracted sales tax, typically they have required the consumer to self-assess, which has led to a low rate of compliance. In announcing these new measures, the federal government is looking to recapture this lost revenue by requiring non-resident businesses to become GST/HST registrants to collect and remit this tax to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
