Odd client request regarding HST
A client who has been with me for several years is all of a sudden asking me stop charging HST on a portion of the invoice. He pays me a fixed amount based on my hours and a variable amount. The variable amount is a percentage of profit that I generate for him that month and that is what he doesn't want to pay HST on anymore.
I responded simply by stating that I couldn't do that and that I needed to collect it for the government.
Is there any validity to his request? I.e. could this "profit sharing amount" somehow be HST exempt? (I don't think so, but just want to double check)...
