Business Sectors Ryan Serves

Manufacturing
Manufacturers may have to manage a mix of taxable and zero-rated supplies, along with significant capital investments that can create input tax credit and exemption errors. We enhance accuracy, recover missed entitlements, and streamline indirect tax practices across complex operations.
Mining, Oil, and Gas
Specialized equipment, fuel, and exploration costs in mining and energy are governed by technical rules that frequently lead to overpayment. Our experts identify recoverable amounts and strengthen tax treatment to prevent future leakage.
Professional Services
Professional services firms face complex fee structures, cross-border work, and varying tax rules that make indirect tax accuracy critical. A sales tax review identifies missed input tax credits, corrects overpayments or undercharges, and ensures services are taxed correctly across provinces.
Insurance
Although many insurance services are GST/HST-exempt, operating expenses often include recoverable tax. We review technology, administrative, and other cost streams to uncover overpayments and improve future accuracy.
Retail and Wholesale
Retail and wholesale businesses manage high transaction volumes across multiple provinces with varying indirect tax rules. Our experts review product taxability, resale transactions, and exemption treatment to identify overpayments, recover missed credits, and improve ongoing compliance accuracy.
Construction
Construction projects involve complex indirect tax rules around progress billing, mixed contracts, and multiprovincial material sourcing. We review project filings to confirm correct tax treatment, identify recoverable amounts, and reduce reassessment risk, supporting stronger compliance and better cost control.
Indigenous Nations
Indigenous Nations in Canada operate within unique tax frameworks that include specific indirect tax exemptions, relief programs, and intergovernmental agreements. Having a comprehensive review provides clarity by ensuring these exemptions are correctly applied, identifying refund opportunities, and confirming compliance with federal and provincial requirements. This supports long-term economic development goals while protecting financial resources and reducing administrative burden.
