GLGI Tax Tip

taxtip

Some Canadian tax payers are confused as to where they are to report their donations on their tax return. As well, if there is any difference with filing a cash or gift-in-kind donation receipt. Donation receipts qualify for tax credits and should be claimed in the current year's tax return. If you have donated cash and educational courseware, you will receive two separate donation receipts. One receipt will be equal to the fair market value of the donated educational courseware, and one receipt will be equal to the donated cash.

Are you HST Ready?

When will the HST apply?

  • It will be implemented effective July 1, 2010
  • HST = 13% ( a combination of 5% Federal and 8% Provincial tax ) 

HST will be applied to amounts paid or payable on or after this date for all Goods and Services that will be provided on or after this implementation date.

Transitional Rule for Services:

Example: A business provides consultation services from May to July 2010 and only 75% of the services is performed in the months of May and June, 2010. This means only 75% of the services is performed in May and June, 2010. The invoice is issued on May 31, 2010.

Answer: The HST will only apply to the remainder 25% of the service performed on or after July,2010. HST does not apply to the 75% of the services that was performed in May and June, 2010

For more information to the HST, you can refer to the link to the CRA website is :  http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/vnts/hrmnztn/menu-eng.html

Objection Nullified

nullified

The Income Tax Act prescribes that the latest Notice of Objection for a taxation year nullifies all previous Objections for that taxation year. Therefore, the latest Objection must include copies of all previous Objections filed for that taxation year. To file more than one Notice of Objection for the same taxation year without including copies of a previous Objection(s), can have serious consequences—the previous Objection(s) will be treated by the CRA as if it had not been filed.
