Upcoming Free Webinar: Understanding & Leveraging GST/HST for Arts Non-Profits & Charities

Is your arts organization maximizing all possible tax credits and rebates? Is your arts organization thinking about registering for GST/HST? Have you claimed back all eligible GST/HST amounts, or are you wondering what you may have missed?

GVPTA and Arts BC host Understanding & Leveraging GST/HST for Arts Non-Profits & Charities with Michael Monk, GST/HST Presenter for Canada Revenue Agency, a free webinar taking place Thursday, July 22, 2021, 11:00am – 12:15pm PDT. You can register here.

Board, staff, and other administrators involved with finances and/or GST/HST at non-profit or charitable arts organizations in BC are invited to join for a free webinar with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on July 22 to gain a clearer understanding of your GST/HST obligations and entitlements.

What should you do to get the most money back? How does a small arts organization making below the GST/HST threshold determine if registering would benefit them? Can you get money back for capital improvements made to your space during COVID closures? Should you charge GST/HST on sponsorships? What about credits for fundraisers, auctions, and raffles? Get answers to these questions and more.

Understanding the most important GST/HST rules and legislation can help your organization manage its GST/HST responsibilities and also maximize its recoveries. Even if you’re not currently GST/HST registered, or you think your organization is too small for this to apply, you can still access valuable information about maximizing potential GST/HST recoveries. Or, if you’d just like a refresher, or to simply hear directly from CRA that you’re “doing the right thing”, this presentation is for you.

Registration is required. Click here for the full session details and to read presenter Michael Monk's bio.
