HST Point-of-Sale Exemption

Effective September 1, 2010

On June 17, 2010, the Government of Ontario announced that its existing RST exemption for Status Indians, Indian bands and councils of an Indian band will continue for qualifying off-reserve property or services (including sales and leases) as Ontario moves to the HST.
Effective September 1, 2010, Status Indians, Indian bands and councils of an Indian band are entitled to an exemption from paying the eight per cent Ontario component of the HST on qualifying property or services at point-of-sale.
The point-of-sale exemption for Status Indians, Indian bands and councils of an Indian band will apply only to qualifying off-reserve acquisitions or importations of property or services that are for the personal consumption of the Status Indian or exclusively for consumption or use by the band or the council of the band.
The Status Indian point-of-sale exemption will not apply where any other relief is available, such as:

  • when the purchaser is eligible for input tax credits for the HST payable (e.g., because the purchase is for use in the purchaser's commercial activities);
  • in cases where the supply is already relieved of the HST because it is zero-rated (e.g., basic groceries) or exempt (e.g., certain health care services); or
  • when the property is a designated item that qualifies for an Ontario point-of-sale rebate for the Ontario component of the HST (e.g., children's clothing, printed books).

Sorry, I guess I was thinking other people are like me.:)
well it's good of you to think that way but like I said there are many components to making it against adversity and against all odds

also in your generation and my generation there were far more in the blue collar segment that weren't poor exactly but weren't middle class either and we didn't starve...which was just one form of adversity of course

I grew up in a very white world and for the most part still live in a very white world

my guy went hungry much of the time and although he wasn't beaten he was certainly abused on multiple levels

he was working by the time he was 6

bullsh-t!!!!

My dad and anyone else who spoke their mother tongue in school were beaten. We should have an equal proportion of f-cked up whites if school were the excuse.

Don't forget; we had a bunch of ****ed up teachers too, who could and did administer corporal punishment on a whim.

I'm not sure that, THAT is an appropriate adjective for nuns, ooops maybe appropriate after all, but not in good taste. :)
good taste...lol...since when does truth ever sit well and be in good taste...

I saw some of them wack kids so hard they would break out in a sweat...literally

Of course they were mean. Their book on moral guidance is full of cruelty.
I remember hot days and we couldn't get a drink of water...we had to offer it up to Jesus

my god

kids puked and didn't get to go home

kids wet themselves...and wouldn't tell for fear of being punished

and they would have been

My wife's explanation is that it is the fall out from residential schools. Several generations of natives were separated from their families and raised in a hostile foreign environment and missed out on learning parenting skills.
Then there is the rez environment which in many cases is no different then inner city ghettos sadly lacking in role models.

The possible role models left the rez. They were the ones who had some brains and guts, they were the ones who did not wish to be ruled by alcohol, drugs, or liberals.
