Is Canadian sales tax something that US sellers need to worry about? The answer, like so many other answers when it comes to sales tax, is it depends. That's why Michael J. Fleming of Sales Tax and More is here to break down everything you need to know about sales tax in Canada.
In Canada, there are two levels of tax: federal level taxes and local level taxes. And, unlike the US, Canada has almost no tax exemptions, except for a certificate that can be used with indigenous peoples. Additionally, the term "nexus" is not used in Canada when referring to sales tax—instead, they say "carrying on business." So how does this apply to you and your business?
In this week's episode of Sales Tax and More, co-hosts Michael J. Fleming and Ellie Moffat discuss the collection and remittance of sales tax in Canada. Michael explains the major differences between taxation in the US and Canada, and when it is appropriate for US sellers to register in the country. Stay tuned.
