In this video, I explain how GST, HST, PST and QST can affect a Canadian business acquisition structured as an asset purchase. We look at the GST44 election, the "all or substantially all" test, GST/HST registration, purchase-price allocation, and why provincial sales taxes can still apply even when a GST44 election is available. I also explain why buyers in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec may face additional considerations, and why equipment, inventory, goodwill, vehicles, real estate and post-closing services may receive different tax treatment. **** Do Business with David using these incredible internet links... - David's Blog where you can find hundreds of free videos and articles, https://www.DavidCBarnett.com - Book a call with David and let him help you with your project, https://www.CallDavidCBarnett.com - Learn how to buy a successful and profitable business in a risk-controlled way https://www.BusinessBuyerAdvantage.com - Get help selling your business, https://www.HowToSellMyOwnBusiness.com ----- #BuyABusiness #BusinessAcquisition #CanadianBusiness #GST #HST #SmallBusiness Youtube music licensing code: 5PJWQOE5ZZHTQSRY
