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 so, you should attend CRA’s GST/HST Introductory Presentation for Charities and NPOs. You will hear directly from CRA’s Headquarters employee who has 30+ years of experience in GST/HST programs. The Presentation will review many aspects of GST/HST obligations and entitlements. You will learn about what is taxable, rebates, credits and much more. We will introduce you to some of the most important rules and legislation that help people better manage GST/HST and maximize recoveries.

WHO WILL BENEFIT:

This Presentation is intended for both Charities and NPOs.  It is designed for Directors, staff and any other individuals who may be involved in an organization’s GST/HST. Even if the organization is not currently GST/HST registered, or if someone thinks that the organization is “too small” to worry about GST/HST, you should attend. You will learn about ways to maximize GST/HST recoveries and avoid mistakes on a going forward basis.  And, if you would just like to hear directly from CRA that you are “doing things right”, this Presentation is for you.
