As you may already know, the government has introduced a new tax called the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax). Early implementation of this new tax will begin on May 1, 2010.

All outstanding camp fees must be paid by April 30th, 2010 to avoid the H.S.T. charge. All camp charges from May 1st and on will have the H.S.T. automatically applied to the total fees.

We have read the legislation and consulted with government officials. Based on the information we have gathered, it is our understanding that the information presented here is accurate and up to date. There are several issues created by this new tax for camp families. Here is what we know.
Some background:
For most industries, a 13% HST is really only a name change (or harmonization) for what used to be (i.e. 13% HST = 5% GST + 8% PST). For camps in Ontario, however, this is not the case. For many years, residential summer camps have been specially treated under PST legislation, and camp families have been paying a special 3% PST instead of the usual 8%. That is to say, camps have been subjected to a total of 8% in tax (not 13%). Unfortunately, despite our best efforts and the collective efforts of the Ontario Camping movement, HST legislation refuses to continue to acknowledge camps as special.
