Why is HST charged on Registered Massage Therapy?
In Canada, before a health profession can be exempted from charging HST the profession must be regulated in a minimum of five (5) provinces. Registered Massage Therapists are a regulated health profession currently in only three (3) Provinces, Ontario, Newfoundland and British Columbia. Legislation is in progress in several other provinces at various stages. These include Alberta, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.
Yoga Mamas is HST-registered under the rules established by the Canadian Government and is therefore required to charge HST.
