Sales Taxes  ->  GST/HST -> Visitor rebate program, Foreign convention and tour incentive program

Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program (FCTIP)

This program began effective April 1, 2007.

For more information see the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) web page Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program.

The Federal 2017 Budget proposes to repeal the GST/HST rebate available to non-residents for the GST/HST that is payable in respect of the accommodation portion of eligible tour packages under the FCTIP.  This will generally apply in respect of supplies of tour packages or accommodations made after March 22, 2017.  As a transitional measure, the rebate will continue to be made available for a supply of a tour package or accommodations made after March 22, 2017 but before January 1, 2018 if all of the consideration for the supply is paid before January 1, 2018.

On May 4, 2012, a news release announced improvements to the Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program.

See GST/HST Notice273, GST/HST Rulings Service - Eligibility of Tours under the Foreign Convention and Tour Incentive Program.
