CAPP, in collaboration with the Canada Revenue Agency, held its first ever GST/HST Conference on October 27 and 28, 2009. Over 220 professionals in the area of GST attended from across the country. Twenty instructive speakers from Canada Revenue Agency and Industry covered various topics from joint ventures to document requirements. In addition, the conference offered valuable networking opportunities.
