Cypres · Oct 19th, 2006, 13:33

各位 eBay seller,
相信你们90%的客户在US, 你们claim GST and duty back吗?提供怎样的证据证明你的东西卖到美国去了?

Exports- most goods and services are zero-rated when exported.
Your shipping documents can be used as proof of exporting the goods to the U.S.

Nobody asked you provide all the documents when you apply the GST return. Just fill a number, tell them how much you paid and how much you collect, they will give you the difference, no furthure document needed.

No matter how many transactions you have, you must keep all the records for the years CRA requires.
Proper documentation is always necessary if you don't want to be in trouble in future.

This is misleading. What if the CRA asks for an audit? What are you going to provide? Just tell them you cook the book?

All the documents are not needed when file the return, but must be kept well for audit, that's for sure. I can image that no document to support the number.

Thank you all!
Of cause we all will keep the records. But I mean does CRA really gonna accept those postage documents as the proof that your goods were exported to US?
Because you ship your goods to individual customers, 你进口时是整箱进来的. 很难证明你卖给US客户的就是你进来的货, 况且你还有部分是在加拿大卖掉的(这部分当然要collect GST).

When you sell the products, you will create an invoice with billing address and shipping address. Normally, you will charge shipping fee on the order. If you don't charge the customer shipping fee when the order value is over a certain amount, you must have either price list or print- out to show that the shipping charge is waived due to your shipping policy or promotion. When you ship the products, you have the shipping documents to prove that you do ship the products out of country.

If you have all the above-mentioned documents, I would say you will have no trouble. Nobody will expect that you sell what you have purchased all at once. That is unrealistic and impossible.

As an accountant, I've cooperated with the CRA auditors a few times. Our company has lots of international transactions.

Thank you so much!
1. That means I could use the same way to claim duty back from Canada Custom, doesn't it?

One more question:
2. If I purchase (or import) goods and pay $1000 GST in Dec/06 and selling them in 2007. That means those goods are inventory in 2006. How do I report GST return in 2006? (Sale=0 and GST ITC=1000 ?)

Thank you!
