As of Saturday, December 14, all orders/events executed AND paid for until Saturday, February 15, 2025, will be affected by the GST/HST break.

The GST/HST break applies to the following so long as they are delivered and paid for in full during the exemption period.

• All food and non alcoholic beverage services
• Beer, wine and ciders
• Delivery charges
• Gratuity (this applies where we add the gratuity to the service, not when a client adds it)

It does NOT apply to:

• Rental items (equipment)
• Staffing
• Hard Alcohol

For your convenience and to ensure that exemption requirements are met, here is how we will be handling this:

1. All proposals and confirmations will continue to show the clearly identified GST line item.
2. The invoices for orders delivered or events executed during the exemption period will have the GST removed for applicable items.
3. Since the legislation requires that both delivery/execution and payment in full take place within the exemption period, any outstanding invoices as of February 15, 2025 will be re-issued with the GST charged.

This is a fast-moving and complex change. Our team along with our consultants and advisors has reviewed the Government guidance and will continue to monitor future updates.
