How to apply

How to account for the Ontario First Nations point-of-sale relief

On their GST/HST return, a GST/HST‑registrant supplier that credits amounts for the Ontario First Nations point‑of‑sale relief would:

  1. Include the amount of HST collected or collectible for these supplies on line 103 at the full 13% rate (if you are filing your GST/HST return online, include this amount on line 105)
  2. Report the amounts credited at the point-of-sale on line 111
  3. Send the rebate application and indicate the total amount claimed and the reporting period in which the amounts credited at the point-of-sale have been included on line 111
