Canada to Apply GST/HST to Mutual Fund Trailing Commissions Starting July 2026

  • Starting July 1, 2026, mutual fund dealers in Canada must collect GST/HST on trailing commissions.
  • The CRA has changed its longstanding position, now considering these commissions as taxable supplies.
  • This change may affect mutual fund dealers’ decisions on the timing of major capital property purchases.
  • Quebec has not yet announced if it will apply the same rule for QST.
