Évasion Hors Piste Inc. Remission Order

P.C. 2009-1540 September 9, 2009

Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, considering that it is in the public interest to do so, on the recommendation of the Minister of National Revenue, pursuant to subsection 23(2) (see footnote a) of the Financial Administration Act (see footnote b), hereby remits tax in the amount of $34,487.88, and all relevant penalties and interest on it, payable under Division II of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (see footnote c) by Évasion Hors Piste Inc., in respect of the sale of recreational vehicles to non-residents during the period beginning on September 1, 2001 and ending on February 28, 2003.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order.)

The Order remits tax in the amount of $34,487.88, and all relevant penalties and interest, representing the goods and services tax collectible by Évasion Hors Piste Inc. The remission is granted because, having relied on misleading advice from a government official regarding the proper export procedures to follow when selling goods to non-resident consumers, company officials failed to properly collect and remit the tax payable on those goods during the period beginning on September 1, 2001 and ending on February 28, 2003.
