The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) GST/HST Presentation Series delivers accurate, up-to-date information tailored for national, provincial, and territorial associations across various industries. This structured series builds on foundational concepts, progressively increasing knowledge with each session to enhance understanding of GST/HST obligations and entitlements. 

Presented by CRA’s Headquarters (HQ) GST/HST Directorate, these forward-looking, educational sessions help professionals and organizations: 

✔ Navigate complex GST/HST regulations with expert insights

Whether you are in the For-Profit sector or part of a Charity/NPO, this series is designed to provide the clarity and support needed to manage GST/HST effectively.
