Published by Wolters Kluwer (formerly CCH Canadian), the fifth edition of the book includes the most current tax updates, including proposed amendments (as of September 2015), as well as expert commentary on unique aspects of these taxes not found elsewhere.

“We’ve essentially written the book on Canadian taxation,” said Garry Round, President of Ryan’s Canadian operations. “Not only is Value-Added Taxation in Canada: GST, HST, and QSTa go-to technical guide for tax professionals, but it’s written in plain language and full of useful examples so that even those unfamiliar with these taxes can get a better understanding of the issues and greatly benefit from this resource.”

“The book combines discussion on the theoretical and practical questions posed by Canada’s value-added taxes, with an emphasis on the implications for private and public sector taxpayers,” said Mark Ho, Product Manager at Wolters Kluwer. “The authors have integrated commentary on the impact of all three taxes (GST, HST, and QST) for each topic and provide insight into the legislation and administrative policy at both the federal and provincial level.”
