Commodity Tax Recovery:

RDP helps companies recover GST, PST and other commodity taxes.  It is essential to any growing business to keep up-to-date on the rules, regulations and constant changes relating to all of these taxes.  Area’s that are commonly overlooked include: 

1. Bookkeeping errors:  Failure to identify and record credits.
2. Special Exemptions:  Primarily with PST, many exemptions exist whereby companies miss applying for refunds.
3. Unique GST/PST issues arising from dealing with non-residents and business re-organizations and sale or transfer of business assets.
4. Credits not claimed related to fringe benefits.
5. Special exemptions for manufacturing and software development.

Unfortunately, keeping up to date on commodity taxes takes time, extensive experience and continuing education to understand how each tax applies to each company's unique situation.  RDP's strength is in combining tax procedure and policy with your unique Company situation, thus allowing us to identify recovery opportunities

RDP has noticed that 80% of companies that use our commodity tax recovery services have recovered cash and/or secured tax credits.  If RDP cannot identify any over payment of commodity tax, we don't charge any fee.

We also offer Commodity Tax advisory services including:

• Representation to government tax authorities
• Requests for interpretations, Notices of Objections and Appeals
• System review and design
• Identification of significant liabilities
• Staff training

RDP also specializes in the area of Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR & ED) tax credit maximization.  The SR&ED program offers significant tax benefits and cash refunds (up to 45% of R & D costs) to qualifying business as a means to bolster Canadian innovation. Depending on a company’s size, it can be considered as relevant as a healthy revenue stream.
