GST/HST Rebate For Housekeeping

Agreed Teen, that was the conclusion I came up with as well. Thanks

Technically you are not paying the HST for VIP services. The grant from VAC a veteran gets twice a year pays the HST. So you are not paying for a service out of pocket.

You should make sure you explore "can I claim HST from grant money for VIP services"

The link comes up that file not found, is there an updated link? Thanks.

Thank you bosn, I will read up on it. Great information.

this is what i found hope it helps

You will notice when you read the Disability-Related Information 2016 http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/rc4064/rc4064-14e.pdf 

This guide is for persons with medical expenses or impairments in physical or mental functions and supporting family members. It gives information on eligible medical expenses, services we provide for persons with impairments in physical or mental functions, and other related information on income tax, excise tax, customs, and the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST).

You are best to read and see if this applies to you which have VIP (Home Care) and Personal care, and get the taxes paid to the Service Provider reimbursed.

2. This should apply to the Housekeeping and Personal Care services ofter by VAC.

I believe this is the application form. I looked through the guide and I don't see where as Veterans we can claim the GST/HST we paid for housekeeping. Maybe someone can confirm this. Thanks.

Thanks Johnny

Willie - Great to see you here. Sorry I don't have an answer, Johnny Out,,VVV...

Are we allowed to claim the GST/HST we paid for housekeeping services? If we are, does anyone know what form we need to fill out to get the rebate? Thanks.
