To all BHi Members

As of July 1st, 2010 the Government of Ontario will be implementing the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The HST in Ontario will be 13% of which 5% represents the Federal portion and 8% the Provincial.

We will be required to collect HST for service provided after July 1st. Effective immediately 8% will be added for a portion of our summer season.
