GST Ruling - August 9, 2006

Stewardship Ontario has obtained a ruling from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with respect to GST charged on steward fees. On August 9, 2006, CRA ruled that the fees paid by stewards to Stewardship Ontario pursuant to the Waste Diversion Act are not considered to be a supply and therefore, are not subject to GST. No GST will be charged to stewards on future fees, commencing with 3rd quarter 2006 invoices to be issued September 1, 2006. This change applies on a go-forward basis and does not affect transactions prior to this date.
