Section 163 — Excise Tax Act: Consideration for portions of tour package

For the purposes of determining tax payable in respect of portions of a tour package, the consideration for a supply of the provincially taxable portion of the tour package or the non-provincially taxable portion of the tour package, as the case may be, (in this subsection referred to as the “relevant portion”) is deemed to be where the supply is made by the first supplier of the tour package, the amount determined by the formula A × B where A is the taxable percentage in respect of the relevant portion at the time the supply is made, and B is the total consideration for the entire tour package; and where the supply is made by any other person, the amount determined by the formula A × B where A is the percentage that the consideration for the supply to the person of the relevant portion is of the total consideration paid or payable by the person for the entire tour package, and B is the total consideration paid or payable to the person for the entire tour package. For the purpose of determining tax payable in respect of a tour package and for the purposes of Part VI of Schedule VI, the provision of all that part of the taxable portion of a tour package that is not included in the provincially taxable portions of the tour package and the provision of the part of the tour package that is not included in the taxable portion of the tour package are each deemed to be a supply separate from, and not incidental to, the provision of the remaining parts of the tour package. For the purpose of determining tax payable in respect of a tour package and for the purposes of Part VI of Schedule VI, the provision of the part of the taxable portion of a tour package that is the provincially taxable portion of the tour package in respect of a participating province is deemed to be a supply made in the participating province that is separate from, and not incidental to, the provision of the other parts, if any, of the tour package and those other parts are deemed to be supplied outside the participating province. Where a supply of a provincially taxable portion of a tour package in respect of a participating province is made by a supplier who acquired the tour package from another person and was not required to pay tax under subsection 165(2) in respect of the tour package, the supplier is deemed to be the first supplier of the tour package for the purposes of determining the base percentage, initial taxable percentage and taxable percentage, in respect of the provincially taxable portion of the tour package and the non-provincially taxable portion of the tour package. In this section and in Part VI of Schedule VI, base fraction [Repealed, 1997, c. 10, s. 159] base percentage , at any time, in respect of the provincially taxable portion of a tour package or the non-provincially taxable portion of a tour package, as the case may be, (in this definition referred to as the relevant portion ) means the percentage determined by the formula A/B where A is the part of the amount (in this definition referred to as the base price ) that would be charged by the first supplier of the tour package for a supply at that time of the tour package that is, at that time, reasonably attributable to the relevant portion, and B is the base price; ( pourcentage de référence ) first supplier of a tour package means the person who first supplies the package in Canada; ( premier fournisseur ) initial taxable percentage in respect of the provincially taxable portion of a tour package or the non-provincially taxable portion of a tour package, as the case may be, (in this definition referred to as the relevant portion ) means the percentage determined, at the time the first supplier of the tour package first determines the amount (in this definition referred to as the initial price ) to be charged by that supplier for a supply of the tour package, by the formula A/B where A is the part of the initial price that is, at that time, reasonably attributable to the relevant portion, and B is the initial price; ( pourcentage taxable initial ) non-provincially taxable portion of a tour package means all property and services included in the taxable portion of the tour package that are not included in the provincially taxable portions of the tour package; ( partie non taxable au provincial ) provincially taxable portion of a tour package, in respect of a participating province, means all property and services that are included in the tour package and the supplies of which, if made otherwise than as part of the tour package, would be supplies made in the participating province in respect of which tax under subsection 165(2) would be payable; ( partie taxable au provincial ) taxable percentage , at a particular time, in respect of the provincially taxable portion of a tour package or the non-provincially taxable portion of a tour package, as the case may be, (in this definition referred to as the relevant portion ) means where the difference between the base percentage at that time in respect of the relevant portion and either the initial taxable percentage in respect of the relevant portion or the base percentage at an earlier time in respect of the relevant portion is more than 10 percentage points, the base percentage at the particular time in respect of the relevant portion, and in any other case, the initial taxable percentage in respect of the relevant portion; ( pourcentage taxable ) taxable portion of a tour package means all property and services included in the tour package and in respect of which tax under Division II would be payable if the property or service were supplied otherwise than as part of a tour package; ( partie taxable ) tour package means a combination of two or more services, or of property and services, that includes transportation services, accommodation, a right to use a campground or trailer park, or guide or interpreter services, where the property and services are supplied together for an all-inclusive price.
