The provinces of Ontario and British Columbia have agreed to implement the harmonized sales tax (HST), which would replace existing provincial sales taxes and the federal goods and services tax in those provinces beginning July 1, 2010 and would be administered by the Canada Revenue Agency.

The Canada Revenue Agency offers a number of informative seminars to help ensure that businesses receive the information they need for the transition to the federal administration of the harmonized sales tax in British Columbia.

Visit the CRA web site often as new locations are added weekly. There is no charge for any of the harmonized sales tax seminars.
