@Courier_Tax Thank you for this information. It makes sense that a Skip The Dishes driver does not meet the Interlining Rules as they are not actually delivering "freight". However, my reply was based on the Skip driver being considered a courier and falling under the definition found in this CRA documentation. Canada Revenue Agency - Definitions for GST/HST
"Freight transportation service
Freight transportation service means the service of transporting goods. It includes postal and courier services, as well as incidental property or services supplied by a carrier, such as warehouse, packing, and loading services, whether or not a separate charge is made for them. These incidental charges may be subject to GST/HST, or zero-rated depending on the GST/HST status of the basic freight charge. A freight transportation service does not include a service provided by the supplier of a passenger transportation service of transporting an individual's baggage in connection with the passenger transportation service."
If they are not considered to be Zero-Rated and need to be collecting and remitting GST/HST, (rather than just claiming the ITCs), this needs to be addressed by CRA and other information sources for these drivers, which clearly state "they do not need to".
I look forward to more information and clarification so we are able to provide the correct information for the many individuals who are driving for these delivery services. 😊
Here are a few links that come up with the Google search "skip the dishes gst registrant requirements".
