More Horror Flicks - Transitional Rules for Intangible Personal Property; Admissions Memberships and Transportation Passes

Posted on May 4, 2010 by Cyndee Todgham Cherniak

The Canada Revenue Agency has released a new Web Cast on harmonized sales tax transition rules for intangible personal property, admissions to places of amusement and transportation passes - some of the hot topics on April 29 & 30th.

Under the Ontario retail sales tax (ORST) regime, intangible personal property and transportation passes are not subject to ORST.  However, admissions to places of amusement are subject to ORST unless exempted (e.g. theaters with less than 3200 seats).  As a result of HST, previously non-taxable tickets are subject to 13% (5+8) tax.

Passenger transportation passes, memberships, and admissions have special transitional rules.
