INTRODUCTION
This document provides a listing of trust company financial products and services and their corresponding exempt or taxable status under the Goods and Services Tax (GST). For purposes of this document, "taxable" means taxable at 7%.
Classifications are based on the wording of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act, as amended by S.C. 1990, c.45 (Bill C-62), Revenue Canada's understanding of the description of the products and services, and the assumption that a separate fee is charged for each listed product or service.
Should legislation or Revenue Canada's interpretation of the description of the products and services be amended, some classifications may change. As well, the classifications may not apply to supplies of financial products or services made to a non-resident.
This list is divided according to the type of service supplied. A number has been provided for each item solely for ease of reference.
