The Ontario Nonprofit Network has invited a tax expert, Jonathan Spencer, C.A., to help members prepare for the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).

On July 1, 2010 HST will replace Ontario’s PST. HST is more than GST at 13%: it will require organizations to reevaluate current programs and budgets and make changes to accounting systems in time for May 1, 2010 when transitional rules will start to apply.

This seminar will lead members through the key elements of the HST, help members understand how the HST will affect them and develop a plan for the necessary changes. The Seminar will be of interest to Executive Directors, staff and board members charged with implementing the HST at their organizations and communicating the impact of the new tax.

Seminar leader: Jonathan Spencer is a chartered accountant with more than 20 years experience as a GST and PST consultant. He is the author of the Practitioner’s Guide to Retail Sales Tax, a frequent speaker and facilitator and an active volunteer board member.
