Reaching Out to Leos
I read the horoscope for Leo today and it reads:
"They say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Of course that is true, because if you do not know something it's foolish not to ask. Most of the time, that is. Right now there is something that you need to know, and you feel like you should know it already. You could ask. That would be the easy way. Or, instrad of letting someone in on the fact that you are missing information, you coud seek it out yourself without anyone knowing. That would give you the upper hand."
Dear Leo - if your questsions relate to harmonized sales tax or Ontario retail sales tax, you can do some research using the HST Library (link is on this blog). If you still cannot find what you are loooking for, you can go to the CRA web-site of the Ontario Ministry of Revenue web-site. If you still cannot find what you need to answer your question, please call a specialist (I have been practicing GTS/HST/ORST for 18 years).
