Combing through details, cutting complexities
Most transactions involve indirect taxes, including GST/HST, QST, PST and Carbon Tax. These taxes can easily increase the cost of doing business – especially if refund and tax minimization opportunities are overlooked. A thorough understanding of Canada’s intricate tax rules is essential to maximizing profit, maintaining compliance and reducing tax risk.
