The highly successful and popular A Practical Guide to the GST/HST has been extensively revised to reflect legislative and administrative changes since the last edition was published. Previous versions of this book were published as A Practical Guide to the GST (first to fourth editions were written by Natasha Menon, LL.B., LL.M.; fifth edition written by Ryan ULC)

This edition of A Practical Guide to the GST/HST continues with the hands-on approach and includes helpful tips, examples, reference charts and information regarding common areas of difficulty. This invaluable reference book provides practical guidance on many fundamental GST/HST issues.

Designed for non-commodity tax specialists, corporate tax preparers and general managers, this reference book is written in an easy-to-follow style and language.

Key Topics include:

  • Advantages, disadvantages and requirements of GST/HST registration
  • The obligations of a GST/HST registrant
  • Special GST/HST collection rules
  • Administrative relief, including the cancellations or waivers of interest and remission orders
  • Objection and appeal procedures
  • Imports and Exports 
  • “Place of supply” rules with accompanying reference charts
