Better tax answers for Canadian customers: Blue J now covers Excise Tax Act content

We’re always looking for new ways to generate the best possible tax answers for our customers—and our latest update helps us deliver just that. We’ve expanded our content library to include Excise Tax Act (ETA) coverage, which means Blue J can now deliver better tax answers on sales tax, GST/HST and indirect taxes, in addition to Canadian income tax questions. 

For Canadian tax practitioners, this means they’ll be able to generate verifiable answers quickly on a wide range of ETA-related content such as determining whether a good or service is taxable, exempt, or zero-rated, registration requirements, claiming input tax credits, place of supply rules, available rebates, filing and remittance obligations and more. 

Helping tax practitioners navigate the Excise Tax Act with confidence 

Our team of in-house experts have carefully curated and vetted a robust set of ETA-related sources to ensure Blue J consistently delivers high-quality answers, including: 

• Excise Tax Act
• Regulations 
• CRA technical publications and guides
• Additional CRA resources

Ongoing updates to our content library ensure tax practitioners will always have answers that reflect the most recent regulations, and resources. Which means you can navigate changes confidently—whether it’s in the form of the proposed removal of GST from new home purchases and essentials, or other tax relief measures the government may introduce following the upcoming federal election to reduce financial burden for Canadian taxpayers. 

Better answers on common sales tax, GST/HST and indirect tax questions

With this new content, Blue J can generate verifiable tax answers on a wide range of questions. Here’s a sample of common questions tax experts could ask:

• When is a GST/HST registrant eligible for the quick method of accounting for GST/HST?
• What are the eligibility requirements for the purpose-built rental housing rebate?
• Is the sale of rental property that was used primarily for short-term rentals subject to GST/HST?

Bridging income tax and Excise Tax Act questions 

With ETA content and Income Tax Act (ITA) content both in Blue J, tax practitioners will be able to complete all of their Canadian tax research in one place—one of the top requests from our customers. Our evolving Canadian content library ensures the tax professionals we partner with are able to arrive at clear answers for their clients in minutes.
