Introduction

Purpose

The objective of the survey is to collect information on the Ontario First Nations point-of-sale exemption.

Additional information

Why we conduct this survey

The information you provide will be used by the Ontario Ministry of Finance and Finance Canada to ensure that the harmonized sales tax (HST) is allocated correctly between the provincial and federal governments. By participating in this survey, you will be helping Ontario receive its accurate share of the HST. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

You are legally required to complete this questionnaire according to the Statistics Act.

Authority

Collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory. For this survey, there is a Section 11 agreement with the provincial statistical agency of Ontario.

Record linkage

To enhance the data from this survey and to minimize the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
