Section 223 — Excise Tax Act: Disclosure of tax
Text of the provision Official document
If a registrant makes a taxable supply, other than a zero-rated supply, the registrant shall indicate to the recipient, either in prescribed manner or in the invoice or receipt issued to, or in an agreement in writing entered into with, the recipient in respect of the supply, the consideration paid or payable by the recipient for the supply and the tax payable in respect of the supply in a manner that clearly indicates the amount of the tax; or that the amount paid or payable by the recipient for the supply includes the tax payable in respect of the supply. If a registrant makes a taxable supply, other than a zero-rated supply, and, in an invoice or a receipt in respect of the supply issued to the recipient or in an agreement in writing in respect of the supply, the registrant indicates the tax payable or the rate or rates at which tax is payable in respect of the supply, the registrant shall indicate in that invoice, receipt or agreement the total tax payable in respect of the supply in a manner that clearly indicates the amount of that total; or the total of the rates at which tax is payable in respect of the supply. If a registrant makes a taxable supply in a participating province and is entitled under subsection 234(3) to deduct an amount in respect of the supply in determining the net tax of the registrant, the registrant is not required to include under subsection (1) or (1.1) tax under subsection 165(2), or the rate of that tax, in the total tax payable or the total of the rates of tax payable in respect of the supply. Subsection (1) does not apply to a registrant when the registrant is not required to collect the tax payable in respect of the taxable supply made by the registrant. A person who makes a taxable supply to another person shall, on the request of the other person, forthwith furnish to the other person in writing such particulars of the supply as may be required for the purposes of this Part to substantiate a claim by the other person for an input tax credit or rebate in respect of the supply.
