REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

On April 18, 2012, the Government of Prince Edward Island (PEI) announced its intention to adopt the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) at a rate of 14%, to be composed of a 5% federal component and a 9% provincial component, with an effective date of April 1, 2013. This was confirmed when, on November 26, 2012, a Comprehensive Integrated Tax Coordination Agreement (Canada-PEI CITCA) was signed between the Government of Canada and the Government of PEI providing the necessary framework for the implementation of the HST in PEI.

In order to facilitate the transition to the HST, PEI released proposed transitional rules and input tax credit recapture rules on November 8, 2012. These rules generally specify the tax rate that should be applied for transactions that straddle the April 1, 2013, implementation date. Additional parameters related to PEI’s adoption of the HST were also released by PEI, such as point-of-sale rebates and public service body rebates on November 27, 2012. With the passage of the Provincial Choice Tax Framework Act on December 15, 2009, Parliament approved mechanisms to facilitate the application of the harmonized value-added tax system by way of regulations. Amendments to existing goods and services tax (GST)/HST regulations are therefore required in order to implement PEI’s decision to adopt the HST. Proposed amendments to the Selected Listed Financial Institutions Attribution Method (GST/HST) Regulations announced on November 8, 2012, by the Government of PEI are anticipated to be submitted in the near future.

Objectives

The Regulations Amending Various GST/HST Regulations (Prince Edward Island) [the Regulations] amend existing GST/HST regulations made under the Excise Tax Act (the Act) to formalize and give legal effect to PEI’s decision to adopt the HST. Housekeeping amendments to existing GST/HST regulations are also included.

Description

The Regulations contain rules relating to the harmonized value-added tax system. Specifically, the Regulations include amendments to the following regulations:

• —Games of Chance (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Taxes, Duties and Fees (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Public Service Body Rebate (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Streamlined Accounting (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Automobile Operating Expense Benefit (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Deduction for Provincial Rebate (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —Returnable Beverage Container (GST/HST) Regulations;
• —New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations;
• —Electronic Filing and Provision of Information (GST/HST) Regulations;and
• —New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations, No. 2.

Games of Chance (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations set out special rules under which provincial gaming authorities (e.g. provincial lottery and casino corporations) calculate their GST/HST remittances. These calculations are based upon the 5% federal component and the various respective provincial components of the HST.

These Regulations are amended so that the GST/HST remittances of provincial gaming authorities take into account the change in the automobile operating expense benefit rates related to PEI’s adoption of the HST [see description of amendments to the Automobile Operating Expense Benefit (GST/HST) Regulations below] and reflect the 9% provincial component of the HST in PEI for 2014 and subsequent calendar years. The amendments also provide for a transitional rate for the 2013 calendar year since PEI is only adopting the HST as of April 1, 2013.

Taxes, Duties and Fees (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations exclude certain provincial taxes from the GST/HST base. The main exclusions are provincial land transfer taxes, general provincial sales taxes and any specific ad valorem provincial tax that is imposed on a property or service in lieu of a general provincial sales tax.

These Regulations are amended to remove the general provincial sales tax in PEI from the list of general provincial sales taxes that are excluded from the GST/HST base consequential to elimination of the general provincial sales tax in PEI and the implementation of the HST in PEI, effective April 1, 2013.

Public Service Body Rebate (GST/HST) Regulations

Under the GST/HST, public service bodies (PSBs) such as hospitals, schools, universities, public colleges, municipalities, charities and substantially government-funded non-profit organizations are entitled to claim full or partial rebates of the GST/HST paid on their purchases of property and services for use in non-commercial activities. The GST/HST legislation sets out the rules relating to these rebates and provides the authority to prescribe the rebate rates applicable to the provincial component of the HST for each class of PSB, the property and services in respect of which rebates are disallowed and rules for calculating the rebates. These Regulations contain these prescribed rates and rules.

Under the HST framework, participating provinces have the flexibility to determine the PSB sectors to which rebates are to be provided and the respective provincial rebates rates. Consequential to the different PSB rebates rates, these Regulations also provide rules for determining the appropriate PSB rebates of the provincial component of the HST for a PSB that carries on more than one PSB activity or that is resident in, and carries on activities in, more than one province.

These Regulations are amended to implement PSB rebates of the provincial component of the HST in PEI that were announced by PEI on November 27, 2012, and that are set out in the Canada-PEI CITCA. In particular, a rebate at a rate of 35% of the provincial component of the HST is generally available to charities and qualifying non-profit organizations. A housekeeping amendment is also made to remove an obsolete reference.

Streamlined Accounting (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations provide small businesses and eligible PSBs optional simplified methods (i.e. a Quick or Special Quick Method) of calculating their GST/HST remittances. These methods allow the business or PSB to remit an amount of tax that is a percentage (the “remittance rate”) of its eligible GST/HST-included sales. This allows the entity to avoid having to keep track of the GST/HST paid on purchases and collected on sales separately. Certain transactions are excluded from these rules (e.g. the sale or purchase of real property). In such cases, the tax must be accounted for separately under the normal GST/HST rules.

These Regulations are amended to provide for new remittance rates under the streamlined accounting methods, consequential to the implementation of the HST in PEI.

Automobile Operating Expense Benefit (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations prescribe the rates of GST/HST applicable to the value of an automobile operating expense benefit, which is the personal portion of automobile operating expenses paid by employers or corporations and reported as income for income tax purposes by an employee or shareholder. The GST/HST is applicable to the benefit and the employer or corporation must account for and remit the GST/HST at a prescribed rate. In general, technical amendments to these Regulations are necessary as a consequence of the rate flexibility for the provincial component of the HST afforded to participating provinces under the harmonized value-added tax system.

These Regulations are amended, consequential to the implementation of the HST in PEI, to account for the 14% HST rate applicable in PEI. The prescribed rate applicable to automobile operating expense benefits is lower than the 14% HST rate in PEI to reflect the fact that a portion of the total automobile operating expense benefit reported for income tax purposes relates to GST/HST exempt expenses such as insurance. Special prescribed rates also apply to the automobile operating expense benefit of an employee or shareholder in PEI where the employer or corporation, as a large business, is required to recapture input tax credits in respect of fuel expenses.

Deduction for Provincial Rebate (GST/HST) Regulations

Participating provinces have the flexibility of designating a limited number of point-of-sale rebates of the provincial component of the HST. These Regulations facilitate the crediting, at the point of sale, of a rebate of the provincial component of the HST on items that the participating provinces provide to purchasers of those items.

These Regulations are amended to put into effect the decisions of PEI to provide point-of-sale rebates of the provincial component of the HST on certain designated items that are to be prescribed under provincial regulations. These rebates were announced by PEI on November 27, 2012, and encompass books, children’s clothing and footwear, and heating oil. Federal regulations are required to facilitate exercise of these rebates at the point of sale (e.g. to allow the vendor to refund the purchaser directly at the point of sale). The Regulations add new items that are eligible for a point-of-sale rebate of the provincial component of the HST in PEI.

Returnable Beverage Container (GST/HST) Regulations

To simplify compliance for businesses, deposits on beverage containers that are refundable to the consumer are excluded from the GST/HST base under the Act. Non-refundable levies or handling charges are subject to tax on the same basis as the beverage. In some provinces, under provincially legislated “half-back” systems, only a portion of the deposit on certain beverage containers is refundable and the deposits are treated as tax-included amounts. The Act provides special rules in the case where a deposit is charged under a prescribed act of a province when a taxable beverage is sold in those provinces with a “half-back” system. In these provinces, to avoid the complexity of all retailers having to determine the amount of tax for the non-refundable portion of the deposit to calculate their GST/HST remittances and input tax credits, the special rules require only the first supplier in the distribution chain who imposes the deposit to account for and remit tax on the taxable non-refundable portion of the deposit. These Regulations prescribe the applicable provincial acts.

These Regulations are amended to prescribe the relevant provincial act for PEI, consequential to the implementation of the HST in PEI, effective April 1, 2013. These Regulations are also amended to make a housekeeping amendment to update an outdated reference.

New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations

These Regulations contain various rules that relate to the harmonized value-added tax system under the Act. These Regulations are amended to prescribe PEI to be an HST participating province with a tax rate for the provincial component of the HST at 9% (in addition to the 5% federal component) and to set out the general transitional rules for the introduction of the HST in PEI by specifying whether, and to what extent, the provincial component of the HST applies to supplies of property and services that straddle the April 1, 2013, implementation date.

The amendments to these Regulations implement general transitional rules, released by PEI on November 8, 2012, to facilitate the transition from PEI’s existing retail sales tax to the HST by specifying when the provincial component of the HST applies to these straddling transactions. The transitional rules vary depending on the type of property or service supplied. For example, as of February 1, 2013, businesses are generally required to charge and collect the HST at a rate of 14% in PEI in respect of consideration for a service, leased property or a membership that relates to the portion of the service that is to be performed, or the portion of the lease or membership period that is to occur, on or after April 1, 2013. For supplies of goods by way of sale, businesses are generally required to charge and collect the HST at a rate of 14% in PEI on goods that are delivered on or after April 1, 2013. For goods that are delivered before April 1, 2013, the 9% provincial component of the HST does not apply.

These Regulations are also amended to implement housekeeping amendments, such as ensuring consistency between both official versions of these Regulations.

Electronic Filing and Provision of Information (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations generally provide for mandatory filing of GST/HST returns under the Act by electronic transmission for certain registrants and penalties for failing to file by electronic transmission or failing to report certain amounts specified by way of regulations. The specified amounts include amounts relating to recaptured input tax credits on the provincial component of the HST and information related to certain provincial transitional housing measures. These Regulations also provide rules and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that sufficient and accurate information is provided by the GST/HST registrants to enable the government to administer the GST/HST and to allocate revenues between the federal government and the participating provinces under the HST.

These Regulations are amended to reflect the decision by PEI to join the harmonized value-added tax system, effective April 1, 2013. These amendments were previously announced by PEI and provide for rules similar to those in respect of the adoption of the HST by other provinces. In particular, the rules setting out which persons are required to file GST/HST returns by electronic transmission are amended to include builders that are affected by transitional housing measures announced by PEI on November 8, 2012 (see New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations, No. 2 below). In addition, these Regulations are amended to ensure that in general, all GST/HST registrants that are required to recapture input tax credits for the provincial portion of the HST on certain inputs in PEI are also required under these Regulations to file electronically. Additionally, the rules related to which amounts are required to be reported are amended to include amounts relating to recaptured input tax credits on the provincial component of the HST in PEI and information related to the transitional housing measures in PEI.

New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations, No. 2

These Regulations contain various rules with respect to the harmonized value-added tax system under the Act including transitional real property rules, input tax credit recapture rules and HST self-assessment and rebate rules as well as other rules to ensure that the provincial component of the HST applies properly as a consequence of provincial flexibility allowed in establishing the rate of that component.

These Regulations are amended to reflect the decision by PEI to join the harmonized value-added tax system, effective April 1, 2013. In particular, these Regulations are amended, as announced by PEI on November 8, 2012, to specify when the provincial component of the HST applies to real property transactions that straddle the implementation date of April 1, 2013.

The amendments generally provide that sales of newly constructed or substantially renovated homes are not subject to the provincial component of the HST where written agreements are entered into on or before November 8, 2012 (i.e. “grandparented” agreements). Since the provincial component of the HST does not apply, builders of grandparented homes generally are required to remit a transitional tax adjustment that approximates the amount of provincial sales tax (PST) that would have been embedded in the price of the home, on average, under the PST.

The amendments also provide for a transitional housing rebate for the PST embedded in the price of new housing. The rebate is allowed in order to provide relief where a new home subject to the HST also had PST embedded in the price. For example, this would be the case for homes to which HST applies where the PST had been charged on building materials used in the construction of the home prior to the implementation of the HST in PEI. Under these Regulations, the transitional housing rebate can be paid to the builder of the home in cases where the builder pays or credits this rebate to the purchaser and the purchaser agrees to assign this rebate to the builder. This simplification measure allows homebuyers to receive the benefit of the rebate at the time of their home purchase rather than having to file a rebate application with the Canada Revenue Agency.

In addition, these Regulations are amended to implement the input tax credit recapture rules announced by PEI on November 8, 2012. The Canada-PEI CITCA provides for PEI temporarily requiring large businesses (generally those making annual taxable supplies in Canada worth more than $10 million and certain financial institutions) to repay or “recapture” input tax credits otherwise available to them in respect of the provincial component of the HST payable on certain property and services acquired by those businesses. PEI has announced that, between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2021, large businesses will be required to recapture all or a portion of the provincial portion of input tax credits attributable to the acquisition in, or the bringing into, PEI of the following property and services:

• road vehicles that weigh less than 3 000 kg and motive fuel (other than diesel fuel) for use in those vehicles;
• energy (e.g. electricity and natural gas), other than energy used directly in the production of goods;
• telecommunication services; and
• meals and entertainment.

After the first five years, during which time these input tax credits would be fully recaptured, the proportion of input tax credits that must be recaptured will be decreased over the following three years, after which the input tax credits could be fully claimed without a requirement to repay (except for meals and entertainment, where only 50% will continue to be claimable as input tax credits).

Finally, these Regulations are amended by adding a reference to PEI’s provincial tax on private sales of vehicles to the list of “specified provincial taxes” prescribed under these Regulations, which is used to establish the value of a vehicle for the purposes of applying the PEI component of the HST when a vehicle is brought into PEI from outside the province. These Regulations are also amended to implement housekeeping amendments, such as ensuring consistency between both official versions of these Regulations.

“One-for-One” Rule

The Regulations address tax or tax administration and are carved out from the “One-for-One” Rule.

Small business lens

The small business lens does not apply to the Regulations as no disproportionate impact on small businesses is expected.

Consultation

The Regulations were developed in consultation with the Government of PEI. The Regulations are designed to reflect previous announcements, including HST announcements of proposed rules by PEI on November 8, 2012, and November 27, 2012.

Rationale

The Regulations are required as a result of the adoption of the HST in PEI, effective April 1, 2013. The Regulations formalize and give legal effect to previously announced amendments.
