Please note that this program will be delivered in English.
Please join members of our Tax group and Technology group as they discuss the new Canadian sales tax landscape for non-resident suppliers and digital platform operators.
Topics
The session will describe the complex legal relationships created by technological advances for digital platform operators and cross-border service providers, and the challenges that these novel relationships posed for the traditional framework for sales taxes in Canada. The presenters will explain the recent and proposed amendments to the GST/HST, QST and provincial sales tax regimes in Canada (including in the 2021 federal budget), and potential risks and opportunities for suppliers based on the new rules.
