B.C. Wildlife Federation says hunters furious

[trimmer21]

Trimmer, your spouting off again about something you don't know.

They changed the rules 2 years ago.

Been audited 3 times, I know better.

Check the CRA website,particularily reg GI-026 -GI-033. Your customers are still entitled to claim 50% of all HST paid while in Canada,especially clients using your services. The more you talk,the more it's becoming abundantly clear that either you're a crook ripping off your clients or you really needa better accountant and,possibly,a very good lawyer.

The packages (semi guided) do not qualify!!! Fully guided packages do. If they rent just a cabin it is rebated. Also tour groups qualify like bus tours or guided atv tours. Has to be fully guided.

Help me understand this Chris

just renting a cabin qualifies for the rebate, but renting a cabin and being half guided doesn't? That does not make sense

[chris lavoie]

That's right, it doesn't make sense but they won't rebate the tax to my hunters for the reasons I mentioned above.

Up to 2 years ago my hunters got 40% or so back. Now O% back.

They use to give the rebate at the duty free stores, but not anymore.

A nights cabin rental does not qualify but 4 nights does. Has to be over a certain amount of tax paid before they will rebate.

CHANGES CAME WHEN THEY CHANGED FROM GST TO HST!!

In total my hunters have put over $35,000.00 into the Ontario ECONOMY in 2014, this total consists of licenses and export permits along with HST alone. I am just a small outfitter.

I am happy to help out the ONTARIO economy!!!

but if you included game processing it would qualify as fully guided?
