A Web Designer’s Guide to Understanding Canadian Tax Laws – Part 2
Disclaimer: I am not an accountant, a tax lawyer, or an employee of the Canada Revenue Agency, I am a web designer, and I wrote this article because I wanted to help other Canadian web designers who might also be searching for the answer to the same question I had when I first started my web design business: “Should I be charging tax for my web design services?”.
In Part 1 of this article we explored Provincial Sales Tax (PST), or Retail Sales Tax (RST) as it is known in Ontario, and whether as a Web Designer you should be charging this tax to your clients for your web design services. Since not all Provinces require you to charge this tax we also explored the various reasons why, examining each Province individually.
In Part 2 of this article we are now going to look at the Federal side of things. We will look at both the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), and seek to understand the difference between the two.
