In 1917, the cost of participating in World War I had become too great, and the government was forced to temporarily adopt an income tax system in order to finance the war effort. What was going to be a temporary measure is now the largest form of income available to the Canadian government. Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, was the man who proposed the "war" income tax.

In Canada it is the registrants who collect GST/HST from the people to whom they provide their goods and services. Depending on their filing frequency of thier GST/HST returns (monthly, quarterly or annually), they indicate the amount of GST/HST that they have collected as well as the GST/HST that they paid as inputs to their commercial activity (input tax credits). The input tax credits are deducted from the GST/HST collected and the balance (positive or negative) becomes their net tax. They then either remit (if a positive amount) or claim their "refund" (negative amount). The government doesn't actually "collect" the tax, they receive it from their tax collectors...the GST/HST registrants.
HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) recoverable is recorded as a debit balance in accounting. This reflects the amount of HST paid on purchases that a business can claim back from the tax authorities. Essentially, it represents an asset for the business, as it signifies future cash inflows when the tax is reclaimed.
Advantages of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) include simplification of the tax system by combining the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) with provincial sales taxes, reducing administrative costs for businesses, and improving tax compliance by streamlining the tax process for consumers and businesses.
In Canada, the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) paid on a lease is typically expensed as part of the lease payments. For businesses, this means the HST can usually be claimed as an input tax credit (ITC) if the lease is for commercial use. However, if the lease is considered a capital lease, the treatment may vary, and the HST could potentially be capitalized. Always consult with a tax professional for specific situations.
Yes, HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is typically charged on progress billing if the services or goods provided are subject to the tax. Each progress billing invoice should clearly state the HST amount being charged. It's important to check the specific tax regulations applicable in your region, as rules may vary. Always ensure proper documentation for tax compliance.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) affects society by streamlining the tax process, combining federal and provincial sales taxes into a single tax, which can reduce administrative costs for businesses. However, it can also lead to increased prices for consumers on certain goods and services, potentially impacting lower-income households more significantly. The revenue generated from HST is typically used to fund public services and infrastructure, which can benefit society as a whole. Overall, the HST can have both positive and negative implications for different segments of society.
