GST/HST Charged on Goods Supplied or Services Rendered to a Production
The place of supply rules for the purchase of goods and the provision of services will dictate which tax (i.e. HST or GST)
and which rate (see above) will be charged by suppliers of goods and services to a production company.
1)
Place of Supply Rules for the Supply of Goods
There are no proposed changes to the HST /GST place of supply rules for tangible goods. Therefore, for any goods sold
to a production company located in a participating HST province, the applicable HST rate will be charged. For non-HST
provinces, the GST will be charged. For clarity, tangible goods are physical assets such as vehicles and equipment.
2)
Place of Supply Rules for the Provision of Services
The place of supply rules for the collection of HST/GST on services rendered will be based (first and foremost) on the
provincial address of the recipient of the supply most closely connected with the supply of the service. In the majority of
cases for film and television productions, the place of supply address of the recipient will be the main production office.
Accordingly, the HST/GST will be charged at the applicable rate for the province in which the production office is
located.
Goods and Services Tax and Harmonized Sales Tax
Production’s Input Tax Credits (ITCs)
In most cases, a full ITC is available on HST and GST paid on the purchase of goods and the provision of services (see
the exception for “large businesses” discussed below). Production companies in Ontario and PEI that were previously
required to absorb the PST as a cost under each province’s respective tax legislation will now realize a savings
with the Harmonized Sales Tax. PST that has been included in the new HST rate will be fully refundable to the
extent it is not considered a tax on specified services and property, as noted below.
Transition Rules for Large Businesses- Recaptured ITCs
The following only applies to Ontario and PEI based Production Companies
A detailed set of transitional rules apply to associated groups of companies with taxable revenue of more than $10 million
annually (collectively defined as a “large business”). These businesses would be required to 'recapture' ITCs attributable
to the provincial component of HST in Ontario (8%) and PEI (9%) and that becomes payable, or is paid, in respect of
“specified property and services” acquired or brought into Ontario or PEI by a large business for use by that business in the province.
Please note that the transition rules for large businesses are complex and all productions should seek accounting and tax
advice to determine if the production company is (by definition) part of a large business and to ensure the proper
recording and reporting of the HST and ITCs.
“Specified services and property” are defined as:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Energy
Telecommunication services (except for the cost of internet and the cost of toll-free numbers)
Road vehicles weighing less than 3,000 kilograms, vehicle parts and certain services, and fuel (except
for the cost of diesel fuel to power those vehicles – this exception applies in Ontario only)
Food, beverages and entertainment
Businesses subject to the recaptured ITC requirement will have to separately identify the recaptured ITCs in their
GST/HST filings.
