Hi there, any keen accounting types able to help me decode the taxes?
I run up agains this often, where I cannot decipher what I am allowed to put on my expenses for HST (I live in Ontario, I own my own business which is a GST / HST Registrant, and I travel for work thus I want to claim the input tax credit amount)
Any help is much appreciated. For the curious, this was a discounted business class fare from toronto to Europe, entire itinerary was purchased thru air canada but no flights actually on AC metal, it was combination of Austrian and Lufthanse codeshare flight.
thanks
