iTunes GST?

[97'Scort]

I'm going to assume iTunes has GST included. I can't find anywhere that says it though.

Reason is, I run a DJ company and iTunes are counted as purchases towards the company. I'm doing my year end and need to know whether to submit the GST or not.

Anyone know?

He's asking if anyone knows if the GST is already INCLUDED in the $0.99 price per song or not.

Ie it's say $0.95 + $0.04 (GST) = $0.99

Go look on the itunes website to find a GST/BN #. If they don't post it, it most likely means they are not collecting GST.

Your receipts must have a GST# on them, otherwise you can't claim it back.

Even though there's not a GST number on the receipts, I found this in the legal section of Apple.ca:

I've sent an e-mail to apple to get their GST number.

Yep, should be fine then. You probably don't need their GST number, but for potential audit purposes, you should have it.
