Maria tells me your father seems to be doing much bett= er after the antibiotics. >>=20 >> I have some bad news and some great news. The bad news is that we need t= o take a price increase effective next week, from the current $18.50 to $19.= 50/hour. >>=20 >> Quite coincidentally, we have just been able to confirm through the Canad= a Revenue agency and Revenu Quebec that we no longer need to collect GST & Q= ST on our services when our client is simultaneously receiving CLSC services= . Quite honestly we were never aware of this rule until now. We even condu= cted an audit of our competition and no other agencies seem to be aware of t= his. The fact is it took a substantial amount of calling of both governments= before we could obtain clarification. They don=E2=80=99t go out of their w= ay to make it very clear. In any event, this link explains the rule and Reve= nu Quebec confirms that both GST & QST qualify. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/F/= pub/gi/gi-166/gi-166-f.html >>=20 >> In order for us to stop charging taxes, I need you to supply us with a le= tter from the CLSC, confirming that you are receiving home care visits by th= em. I=E2=80=99ve attached a sample of one we have received from another one= of our clients. Once we have the letter we can stop charging taxes. >>=20 >> In addition, it appears the government allows you to go back two years to= reclaim past taxes that you paid=E2=80=A6as long as you were receiving CLSC= services during that time. To that end, I have attached a federal and a pr= ovincial form which will allow you to make that claim. I=E2=80=99ve also in= cluded a summary of taxes you paid since June 2015. >>=20 >> I wish I had known about this earlier Andre. Not only for you but for ot= her clients that have received CLSC services. Good luck and let me know if y= ou have any questions. >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >> Tim Thomas >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >>=20 >> Home Care Assistance (Montr=C3=A9al) >> 4464 Ste.
