Unbeknown to many non-residents of Canada, effective July 1, 2021, non-residents that provide services to persons that reside in Canada may be required to:
- register for Canada’s Goods and Services Tax and Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST), and
- charge and collect GST/HST on services that they provide to Canadian residents that are not registered for GST/HST
Although the primary target of the new rules was electronic supplies made through a “digital platform” and “accommodation platform operators,” the rules apply to most services including investment advisory and portfolio management services.
