CRA considers that a single condo unit can be a hotel for GST/HST purposes
17 June 2014 - 8:57am
A residential complex for GST/HST purposes does not include a hotel or inn. CRA considers that where there is a building with multiple condo units (in this case, a condominium resort), each unit is tested to see if it is a hotel or inn on its own rather than by reference to the character of the building as a whole. In P-099, CRA indicates that a hotel or inn generally provides temporary accommodation to the public, with ancillary services where appropriate.
