- The Tax Court allowed the appeal in part: the company did not have to collect and remit $126,100 HST on the sale of 1059 Briar Hill Avenue.
- However, the company was not entitled to claim $891.59 in input tax credits.
- The case involved a corporation that bought the property intending to renovate and resell it, but the contractor abandoned the project after demolition and before reconstruction.
- The property was sold gutted but unfinished at a loss, and the Minister had reassessed HST based on the purchase price.
- Costs of $300 were awarded to the appellant, and the matter was sent back to the Minister for reconsideration and reassessment.
