KPMG in Canada/TaxNewsFlash-Canada 2006-27
KPMG in Canada/TaxNewsFlash-Canada 2006-27: "What is an “eligible dividend”? The Department of Finance released draft legislation on June 29, 2006 to implement the 2006 federal budget proposals reducing the income tax rate on “eligible dividends” paid to individuals by large corporations. Generally, “eligible dividends” are dividends paid after 2005 to Canadian residents by Canadian public companies, and by Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) out of income taxed at the federal general corporate rate, which is currently 22%. From the recipient’s perspective, a dividend is eligible if the dividend-paying corporation gives the recipient a written notice to that effect. The recipient can rely on that notice without knowing anything about the tax status of the corporation."

GST/HST and Indians
The Indian Act provides the structure for the relationship between Indians and the federal government. Under Section 87 of the Indian Act, the personal property of an Indian or Indian band situated on a reserve and their interests in reserve lands are not subject to tax. The application of the GST/HST is consistent with the provisions of that Act.
GST/HST does not apply to goods or services acquired on reserve, or performed totally on the reserve, by Indians (i.e., persons registered under the Indian Act), Indian bands and unincorporated band-empowered entities. GST/HST does not apply to goods purchased off reserve by Indians, Indian bands and unincorporated band-empowered entities if the goods are delivered to a reserve by the seller or his/her agent. Incorporated band empowered entities buying goods for band management activities either on reserve or off reserve (with delivery to the reserve) are also entitled to this treatment.
GST/HST does not apply to services acquired by an Indian for real property interests on reserve.
The vendor must maintain appropriate documentation to support that the conditions for tax relief have been met. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will accept, as proof, the "Certificate of Indian Status" card issued by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development which states the individual's nine or ten digit registry number or the band name and family number.
GST/HST does apply to off reserve purchases of transportation, short term accommodation, meals and entertainment. However, a rebate is available to recover this tax if these purchases are made for band management activities or for real property interests on reserve.

The Indian Act provides the structure for the relationship between Indians and the federal government. Under Section 87 of the Indian Act, the personal property of an Indian or Indian band situated on a reserve and their interests in reserve lands are not subject to tax. The application of the GST/PST is consistent with the provisions of that Act.To help you understand GST and PST as they relate First Nations business, we will consider on reserve versus off reserve, and regulations regarding buying and selling of goods or services. At the end of this section, you will see GST/PST regulations that are applicable both on and off reserve.
Section I: On Reserve
Purchases:
- Status Indians, Indian bands, and unincorporated band-empowered entities do not pay the provincial sales tax (PST) or federal goods and services tax (GST) on goods purchased on reserve.
- Generally, the GST/PST does not apply to services provided to Indians if the services are performed totally on a reserve (such as haircuts or small appliance repairs), or if the services are performed off a reserve and relate to real property interests located on a reserve.
- To buy goods or services without paying GST/PST, the vendor must be shown the proof that the individual is registered under the Indian Act (ie. your Certificate of Indian Status).
- Services acquired on or off a reserve by Indian bands or band-empowered entities for band management activities or for real property on a reserve are not subject to GST/PST.
- GST/PST on goods imported by Indians are subject to the taxes even when they are delivered to a reserve by the vendor's agent or Canada Post (unless some other provision exempts them from tax.)
- Incorporated band empowered entities buying goods for band management activities either on reserve or off reserve (with delivery to the reserve) are also entitled to this tax exemption on the purchase.
Seller/Vendor:
Sales made to a registered Indian:
As a vendor, you must keep adequate evidence that the sale was made to a registered Indian and, if applicable, delivered to a reserve. On the sales slip or on a log write the registry number or band name and family number from the Certificate of Indian Status. If goods are delivered keep proof of delivery to a reserve (eg. waybill, postal receipt, freight bill, dispatch record, or mileage log). The vendor must maintain this documentation to ensure that the conditions for tax relief have been met. The CCRA will accept as proof, the "Certificate of Indian Status" card issued by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND).
Sales made to a non-Indian:
- The exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act does not apply to sales or supplies made to non-Indians on a reserve.
- All businesses operating on reserves must meet the general registration requirements for GST/PST and collect and remit GST/PST on the taxable sales they make to any person who is not an Indian.
- See Section III for more information as relates to all sales made at any location.
Section II: Off Reserve
Purchases
- Where Status Indians make purchases off reserve and take possession of the goods at the time of sale, such as restaurant meals, or clothing, they are required to pay both PST and GST as applicable, unless the goods are delivered to a reserve by the vendor or the vendor's agent.
- The exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act does not apply when an Indian, an Indian band, or a band-empowered entity buyer takes possession of goods off a reserve and self-delivers the goods to the reserve. Requirement may be waived if a remote store qualifies, and if they deal mainly with customers who are Indians, Indian bands, and band-empowered entities.
- Incorporated band empowered entities buying goods either on reserve or off reserve (with delivery to the reserve) are also entitled to tax exemption if the purchases are for band management activities or for real property on a reserve.
- Exception to the above: Indian bands or band-empowered entities will pay the tax on off-reserve purchases of transportation, short-term accommodation, meals and entertainment. A General Rebate is available to recover this tax if application is made and these purchases were acquired for band management activities or for real property located on reserve.
Seller/Vendor
- If you make sales to a Registered Indian off reserve tax exemption may apply if the goods are to be delivered to a reserve by the vendor or the vendor's agent. You must keep adequate evidence that the sale was made to a registered Indian and delivered to a reserve. On the sales slip or on a log write the registry number or band name and family number from the Certificate of Indian Status. Keep proof of delivery to the reserve (eg. waybill, postal receipt, freight bill, dispatch record, or mileage log). The vendor must maintain this documentation to ensure that the conditions for tax relief have been met. The CCRA will accept, as proof, the "Certificate of Indian Status" card issued by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND).
- See Section III for more off reserve vendor information for all locations.
Section III: On and Off reserve regulations
GST Registration
- If your business brings in annual revenues of over $30,000 (from taxable goods and services, or if you are a taxi or limousine operator) you must register for the GST. If your annual GST-taxable sales and revenues are under $30,000, you don't have to register, but nothing is stopping you from registering, as long as you are running a business. When you register for the GST, you will be assigned a Business Number (BN). With this BN, you will have access to your various Revenue Canada accounts (corporate income tax, import/export, payroll deductions, GST).
- All businesses operating off reserve have to meet the general registration requirements for GST/PST, and collect and remit GST/PST on the taxable sales they make to any person.
- As a rule, you can deduct the expenses necessary for earning a business income, including any goods and services tax (GST) you pay on these expenses.
If you have any questions about a particular situation, it is recommended you contact your district taxation office. For further information about these issues contact:

- The Consumer Taxation Branch will issue you a Certificate of Registration and provide information on your responsibilities.

Weber Charcoal BBQ Grill review - Jeff Werner
Weber Charcoal BBQ Grill review - Jeff Werner: "Wise purchase of the Weber kettle. I've got a 22.5' one myself and love it. Just thought I'd let you know that you don't need to use that Kingsford garbage. Maple Leaf, a company out of Quebec, has both lump hardwood charcoal and briquettes. The briquettes do not contain any chemicals, only hardwood and a binder derived from wheat. I use the briquettes for smoking and the lump for grilling. Really good stuff, and they love it down in the states (see review at this link, you may have found this while researching the barbecue purchase).
http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumpbag3.htm
I've been able to find it at Rona stores here in Edmonton and would like to encourage more people to buy it so that they continue to stock it. Specialty bbq stores have it as well but for twice the price.
Hope you've managed to gain some good experience with the kettle over the last year or so. I've done a number of different kinds of meat on mine and it's really hard to beat the pulled pork. At the risk of sounding like a bbq nerd, Steven Raichlen has a book called How To Grill that's very good for aspiring grill jockeys. He's also a big proponent of charcoal over gas."

Shaw Cable and Protected Content at Adam’s Realm Blog
Shaw Cable and Protected Content at Adam’s Realm Blog: "I have the s-video out from the DCT-6200 into a filter which removes the Macrovision signal so that MCE will record at all. The S-video then goes into the WinTV USB2. In addition, I have a firewire cable running from the back of the DCT-6200 into my PC. The firewire connection serves dual purposes. The first is to change channels on the box. The second is to send the digital signal to the PC. This is accomplished using software called FireSTB provided by Tim Moore. I need the analog tuner (S-Video) to remain connected at the same time because currently MCE can only understand the analog signal from the box, not the digital. The software from Tim Moore does a beautiful job at recording the digital signal. The analog file that MCE records is just deleted by FireSTB when the digital recording is completed. Using this software I have been able to record from all channels on the DCT-6200 including the HD channels in 1080i and DD5.1."

More is Less » $10 - 15: "2003 Paiara Puglia Rosso - This was definitely the value find of the month! I had drunk many bottles of their rosé over the summer, so after my friend, Graham had tried this and said how good it was, I had to give it a go. I mean, how can you go wrong with $11?? This is a great wine for the money. It’s a blend of Negramaro and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It’s got structure and a tonne of fruit backed up by smooth, but firm tannins. Just really good for $11! Get some.
One note on this wine: I picked up 2 bottles and noticed that the first I tried was kind of flabby - like the wine had been slightly cooked in storage or shipping. It was still OK, but the 2nd bottle showed what this was all about. It had the tannin and structure that made me really take notice. I’m just mentioning this in case you pick one up and run into what I did with the first bottle. Give it another go - c’mon, it’s only $11!

Unless I got the wine wrong, this one totally did not do it for us! We tried two bottles and they were what I imagine camel piss would taste like!

Jeremy Clarkson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremy Clarkson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born April 11, 1960) is an English broadcaster and writer who specialises in motoring. He writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The Sun, but is most associated with the his role in the BBC TV show Top Gear. The show won an International Emmy in 2005. 'Not a man given to considered opinion,' according to the BBC,[1] Clarkson is known to be opinionated and forthright in his views. In the Daily Mirror of June 19th, 2000, he was described by Tony Parsons as a 'dazzling hero of political incorrectness'. The Economist, on the subject of road pricing in UK, has also described him as a 'skilful propagandist for the motoring lobby'."

The Segura Viudas Brut Reserva is without a doubt the best Cava on the market! And being a damn good value only makes a good thing that much better.
