Concern over proposed changes by Finance Canada |
PDAC continues to voice concern over proposed changes to holding corporation GST/HST rules. Finance Canada’s current proposal indicates higher ownership thresholds for subsidiaries (90% versus the current 50%) will be required in order to enable holding corporations to claim tax refunds for GST/HST paid in Canada for subsidiary-related expenses. This change, if enacted, will adversely impact cost structures within the mineral sector. Read the consultation paper along with our response. |
