Beginning July 1, 2010 we will apply the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in place of the GST as announced in the 2009 British Columbia provincial budget. Offsets and services delivered to you before July 1, 2010 will not be impacted. The HST change only applies to new services and offsets delivered on and after July 1, 2010.
The HST rate will depend on your location: for our BC-based clients, the HST rate is 12%; for our Ontario clients, the HST rate is 13%. Everywhere else, tax rates on offsets and services you purchase will remain the same as before.
