A&M’s Indirect Tax Advisory and Compliance team assists Clients in proactive planning and strategizing on the implications of Canadian Sales Tax Laws on their business activities in Canada. The Canadian team assists clients with the registration and compliance obligations of Canada’s two-tier sales tax structure, which comprises Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) as well as several provincial sales taxes (PSTs). We determine the appropriate tax treatment of complex transactions and related structuring, conduct health checks, perform due diligences procedures and manage sales tax audits to help reduce costs and risks from non-compliance 

BENEFITS 

• Create value: Proactive and expert indirect tax assistance creates opportunities for clients to drive value.
• Optimize sales tax structures: Ensuring the most efficient sales tax practices and processes are in place reduces sales tax risks and exposures. 
• Mitigate risk: Keeping clients abreast of continuously changing and evolving legislative and regulatory requirements ensures compliance and that appropriate tax positions are in place.
