- The document is a GST/HST interpretation request about whether a cottage rental website operator must collect GST/HST on short-term accommodation bookings it facilitates in Canada.
- The company is a Canadian GST/HST-registered corporation that lists and advertises cottages, connects owners with guests, helps with booking tools and rental templates, and charges owners various fees including a commission.
- The company does not handle guest payments; owners are paid directly by guests, and some cottage owners are not GST/HST-registered.
- The main question is whether the company qualifies as an “excluded operator,” which would affect whether it must collect GST/HST on the accommodation supplies it facilitates.
