| As you may have heard, the governments of British Columbia and Ontario announced a sales tax harmonization effective July 1, 2010. As a result, Big Island Party Company customers will realize an increase in taxes charged on shipments destined to either British Columbia or Ontario due to the harmonized sales tax (HST).
For shipments to British Columbia a 12% HST will apply, while a 13% HST will apply to those destined to Ontario.
HST regulations continue to apply to shipments with destinations to New Brunswick (13%), Newfoundland & Labrador (13%) and Nova Scotia (increased to 15% as of July 1, 2010).
Should you have any questions regarding the HST as it pertains to Big Island Party Company, please contact your Account Executive. |
