Did you know that there are unique GST/HST rules that apply only to Charities?

Do you wonder if you have missed claiming back all eligible GST/HST amounts?

Would you like to learn how to avoid the most common GST/HST errors?

If you would like to learn more about these issues you should attend CRA’s GST/HST Charities Presentation. You will hear directly from CRA’s GST/HST Headquarters representative who has 30+ years experience in GST/HST. The presentation will focus on GST/HST obligations and entitlements.

WHO WILL BENEFIT:
This presentation is intended for bookkeepers who provide services to Charities or others within the not-for-profit sector.  Even if you are not currently working with a Charity, or if you think that your Charity might be “too small”, you should still attend.  We will discuss ways to help you claim back some, or possibly even all, of the GST/HST your client pays out.  Or, if you would just like a refresher or to hear directly from CRA that you are “doing things right”, this presentation is for you.
