GST / HST for Charities and Non-Profit Organizations

Did you know that GST / HST rules for charities are different than those for non-profit organizations? Do you wonder if you have missed claiming back all eligible GST / HST amounts? Would you like to learn how to avoid the most common GST / HST errors?

If so, you should attend this GST / HST Outreach presentation from the CRA! This virtual session is free for AMA Members.

Hear directly from Michael Monk, a CRA GST / HST representative with over 30 years of experience. With a focus on important GST / HST obligations and entitlements, you will learn about rebates, input tax credits, and the most important GST / HST rules and legislation to help you manage your GST / HST and maximize recoveries.

This presentation will be held Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Click here<https://museums.ab.ca/events/event-detail.aspx?ID=ec45f586-d79d-4206-8e23-23c2b75aa0e5> to learn more and register.
