I-GST kunye ne-HST kwimpahla engeniswayo evela eTshayina: Oko Uhlawulayo Ngokwenene
intshayelelo
If you have ever opened a customs broker’s statement after a container from Shenzhen or Ningbo cleared in Vancouver or Toronto, you already know the feeling. The commercial invoice said one number, the freight invoice said another, and the amount owed to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) somehow looks like a third. For importers new to the China lane, the confusion usually centres on one question: how much GST or HST do I actually pay on goods from China, and what else is hiding behind that number?
Impendulo emfutshane kukuba irhafu yokuthengisa yinxalenye eqikelelweyo yebhili. I-GST karhulumente yipesenti ezi-5 ezimiselweyo ezisetyenziswa kwisiseko esele siquka irhafu yerhafu kunye nayo nayiphi na irhafu engaphezulu okanye irhafu yokulwa nokulahla impahla. Umgangatho wephondo uxhomekeke ekubeni iimpahla ziphelela phi kwaye ngubani ozingenisayo. Utshintsho lokwenyani luvela kuhlu lwerhafu, kwiindlela zorhwebo ezinokongeza ipesenti ezingama-25 okanye ngaphezulu kwama-300 ngaphezulu kwexabiso lempahla, nakwimithetho yokuthobela imithetho yenkqubo ye-CARM ye-CBSA, egqiba ukuba uhlawula nini kwaye njani.
Esi sikhokelo sihamba ngokubala okupheleleyo sisebenzisa imithetho nezaziso ezisebenza ukususela ekupheleni kukaOkthobha ka-2026. Oko kuquka utshintsho luka-2026 kwi-China Surtax Order, unyango olutsha lwemvume kunye nesabelo sezithuthi zombane zaseTshayina, izigqibo ezintsha zokulwa nokulahla inkunkuma, kunye nemingcele ye-courier esasebenza kwiipasela ezincinci. Uza kufumana amanani asebenzayo, itheyibhile yerhafu yephondo, kunye neempazamo ezidla ngokunyusa iindleko zomhlaba. Ngenxa yokuba iirhafu kunye nezaziso zitshintsha ngokukhawuleza, phatha amanani njengesiseko sokucwangcisa kwaye uqinisekise udidi lwakho lwerhafu ngaphambi kokuba uzibophelele kwi-odolo yokuthenga.
Iileya ezintathu zeendleko zokungenisa impahla kwimida yaseKhanada
Yonke impahla evela eTshayina isiya eKhanada ihlawuliswa ngokweeleya, kwaye ulandelelwano lwazo leeleya lubalulekile kuba nganye yondla enye. Ileya yokuqala yirhafu yerhafu, eyipesenti yexabiso lerhafu kwaye imiselwe luhlelo lwerhafu lweempahla. ITshayina ayinasivumelwano sorhwebo olukhululekileyo neKhanada, ngoko ke iimpahla ezivela eTshayina zihlala zihlawuliswa ngexabiso leMost Favoured Nation (MFN). Kwii-elektroniki ezininzi kunye neethoyi, elo xabiso liyi-zero, ngelixa kwiimpahla kunye nezihlangu linokufikelela kwi-18 ekhulwini.
Umaleko wesibini yiseti yemilinganiselo ekhethekileyo esebenza kuphela kwiimpahla ezithile ezivela kwimvelaphi ethile. Ezi ziquka irhafu engaphezulu kwama-25 ekhulwini kwiimveliso zentsimbi kunye ne-aluminium ezikhethiweyo zaseTshayina, kunye nemirhumo yokulwa nokulahla inkunkuma kunye neyokuchasana ebekwe phantsi koMthetho weeMilinganiselo eziKhethekileyo zokungenisa impahla (i-SIMA). Zibalwa ngokwahlukileyo kwirhafu eqhelekileyo, kwaye zezona zizathu ziphambili zokuba isitya esinye esivela eTshayina sibize kabini ukucoca kunesinye esibonakala sifana ephepheni.
The third layer is sales tax. GST is charged on the original value of the goods plus every duty-type charge from the first two layers, which means you pay tax on top of tax-like charges. Understanding that stacking order is the key to forecasting landed cost. It is also why a duty-rate mistake does not merely cost you the extra duty; it inflates the GST that follows it.
Yintoni i-GST kunye ne-HST ngokwenene xa iimpahla ziwela umda
I-GST kaRhulumente kwiKhawuntara yeCustoms
Kwizinto ezingeniswayo, i-GST ayilotyala elixoxiswana ngokwahlukileyo. Ibekwa nguMthetho weRhafu ye-Excise kwaye iqokelelwa yi-CBSA nge-5 ekhulwini phantse kuyo yonke impahla yorhwebo engafakwanga xabiso liphezulu okanye ikhululwe. Ukutya okusisiseko, amayeza athile kagqirha kunye nezixhobo zonyango, kunye neempahla ezibuyiswayo phantsi kwezibonelelo ezithile zoncedo yimizekelo yezinto ezinokungena ngaphandle kwe-GST, kodwa iimpahla eziqhelekileyo zabathengi kunye nezoshishino ezivela eTshayina azikaze zifaneleke.
Ngenxa yokuba i-CBSA ibala i-GST ngqo kwidatha ye-accounting oyithumelayo okanye umthengisi wakho, isixa-mali asinakulungiswa ngumthwali okanye ngumthumeli. Ukuba ixabiso elichaziweyo, izinga lentlawulo okanye imvelaphi livela lingalunganga, i-GST iyatshintsha ngokuzenzekelayo, kwaye ukulungiswa kufika njengolungiso kwiakhawunti yakho endaweni yokulungisa into ethule.
Kutheni i-HST, i-PST kunye ne-QST Ziziphatha Ngendlela Eyahlukileyo
Nantsi inxalenye edida uninzi lwabangenisi abaqalayo ukungenisa. Amaphondo adibanise irhafu yawo yokuthengisa neyombuso, njenge-Ontario, iNova Scotia, iNew Brunswick, iNewfoundland kunye neLabrador kunye nePrince Edward Island, ahlawulisa i-HST enye edibeneyo. IBritish Columbia, iSaskatchewan kunye neManitoba zigcina irhafu yokuthengisa yephondo eyahlukileyo (PST) ngaphezulu kwe-5% ye-GST. IQuebec isebenzisa i-QST yayo kunye ne-GST. I-Alberta kunye neendawo ezintathu zihlawulisa i-GST kuphela.
Kwimpahla ezithunyelwa ngorhwebo, i-CBSA iqokelela kuphela i-5% ye-GST yombuso kumda, kwaye inxalenye yephondo iphathwa ngezinye iindlela, ezifana nokuzivavanya ngumbhalisi okanye ukuthunyelwa kamva kwiphondo. Kwiimpahla eziqhelekileyo kunye nokuthunyelwa kwempahla ngexabiso eliphantsi okuthunyelwa kubathengi, umfanekiso uyajika: i-courier okanye i-CBSA iqokelela i-HST edibeneyo, okanye i-GST kunye ne-PST efanelekileyo, emnyango. Yiyo loo nto umthengi e-Ontario othenga into ye-CAD 300 kwimarike yaseTshayina enokubona i-13% yongezwa xa kuhanjiswa, ngelixa ishishini elingenisa ipalethi yento efanayo libona i-5% kuphela kumda.
Ukuba awuqinisekanga ukuba imithwalo yakho iphathwa njani, cela umthengisi wakho ukuba akubonise umgca werhafu ekungeneni, kuba unyango luxhomekeke ekubeni ngubani umngenisi werekhodi kunye nendlela eziziswa ngayo iimpahla. Itheyibhile engezantsi idwelisa ireyithi edibeneyo ngokwephondo ukuze ubone apho inxalenye ye-5 yepesenti karhulumente ihleli khona ngaphakathi kuyo.
| Iphondo okanye ummandla | Ulwakhiwo lwerhafu | Ireyithi edibeneyo | Amanqaku abangenisi |
| I-Alberta, iYukon, i-NWT, iNunavut | I-GST kuphela | 5% | Akukho rhafu yentengiso yephondo kwiimpahla |
| British Columbia | I-GST + PST 7% | 12% | I-PST yahlukile kwirhafu karhulumente |
| WaseSaskatchewan | I-GST + PST 6% | 11% | I-PST yahlukile kwirhafu karhulumente |
| Manitoba | I-GST + RST 7% | 12% | Irhafu yephondo yahlukile |
| Ontario | HST | 13% | Isabelo sikarhulumente esingu-5% + isabelo sephondo esingu-8% |
| Quebec | I-GST + QST 9.975% | 14.975% | I-QST ilawulwa yiRevenu Quebec |
| INew Brunswick, eNewfoundland naseLabrador, ePEI | HST | 15% | Isabelo sikarhulumente esingu-5% + isabelo sephondo esingu-10% |
| Nova Scotia | HST | 14% | Yehliswe ukusuka kwi-15% ngo-Epreli 2025 |
Qaphela ukuba iNova Scotia yehlise i-HST yayo ukusuka kwi-15 ukuya kwi-14 ekhulwini ngo-Epreli 2025, ngoko ke iispredishithi ezindala ezisabonisa i-15 ekhulwini kwiphondo ngalinye lase-Atlantic ziphelelwe lixesha.
The Formula: How the Taxable Base Is Built
Izibalo ze-GST kwimpahla yokungenisa impahla zorhwebo zifutshane. Irhafu ilingana nexabiso lerhafu, kunye nerhafu yerhafu, kunye nerhafu eyongezelelweyo, kunye nerhafu yokulwa nokulahla impahla okanye irhafu yokuthintela ukuthengiswa kwempahla, kunye neendleko zokuthengisa impahla, ziphindaphindwe nge-5 ekhulwini. Yonke inxalenye yeso sivakalisi inokungahambi kakuhle ekusebenzeni, yiyo loo nto ifanele ingqwalaselo engaphezulu kunezinga le-5 ekhulwini ngokwalo.
Ixabiso lerhafu, kwiimeko ezininzi, lixabiso lentengiselwano: ixabiso elihlawulweyo okanye elihlawulelwayo kwiimpahla xa zithengiswa ukuze zithunyelwe eKhanada, lihlengahlengiswe kwezinye izinto. Ngokungafaniyo ne-United States nezinye iinkqubo ezininzi, ixabiso lerhafu laseKhanada ngokubanzi alibandakanyi imithwalo yamazwe ngamazwe kunye ne-inshurensi, ngoko ke i-invoyisi ye-CIF kufuneka ihlengahlengiswe ibuyele kwisiseko sasimahla ngaphambi kokuba ibhengezwe. Iindleko ekufuneka zongezwe ziquka ukupakisha, izinto ezincedisayo ezifana neenkuni okanye izixhobo ezibonelelwa simahla ngumthengi, iiroyalthi kunye neentlawulo zelayisensi ezinxulumene nokuthengiswa, kunye nokuthengisa iikhomishini. Imali iguqulwa ngokwezinga leBhanki yaseKhanada elisebenza ngomhla wokuthunyelwa ngqo eKhanada, hayi umhla wokukhululwa, obalulekileyo xa izinga lokutshintshiselana lihamba phakathi kokuhamba kwenqanawa kunye nokufika kwayo.
Xa ixabiso lerhafu liqinisekisiwe, irhafu isetyenziswa ngokwezinga lerhafu, nayiphi na irhafu eyongezelelweyo isetyenziswa njengepesenti yexabiso lerhafu, kwaye iirhafu zokulungisa urhwebo zongezwa ngokwesigqibo se-SIMA esifanelekileyo. Isimbuku sazo zonke ezi zinto, kunye nexabiso ngokwalo, siba sisiseko apho i-CBSA ibala khona i-GST.
What Is in the Base and What Stays Out
Ukujonga ngokukhawuleza kunokusindisa iingxabano ezininzi phakathi kweqela lezemali kunye nomthumeli wempahla.
| Into yexabiso | Kwisiseko se-GST? | amagqabantshintshi |
| Ixabiso le-invoyisi yeempahla (isiseko se-FOB) | Ewe | Iguqulwe ngokwezinga leBhanki yaseKhanada ngomhla wokuthunyelwa ngqo |
| ulwandle lwamazwe ngamazwe okanye uloyiko lomoya | Hayi | Ngokubanzi ayifakwanga kwixabiso lerhafu xa iboniswa ngokwahlukeneyo |
| yezizwe ngezizwe i-inshurensi yempahla | Hayi | Ukuphathwa okufanayo nokwempahla yamazwe ngamazwe |
| Umrhumo werhafu ngexabiso le-MFN | Ewe | Yongezwa emva kokuba ixabiso lomsebenzi limiselwe |
| Irhafu engaphezulu ye-25% yaseTshayina (apho kufanelekileyo) | Ewe | Ithathwa njengentlawulo yohlobo lwerhafu |
| Umsebenzi wokulwa nokulahla inkunkuma kunye nomsebenzi wokuchasana nayo | Ewe | I-GST ibalwa ngaphezu kwezi mbopheleleko |
| Royalties, tooling assists, packing | Ewe, ukuba kuyasebenza | Yongezwe kwixabiso ukuze ifikelele kwixabiso lerhafu |
| Iintlawulo zoRhwebo kunye nokuphatha | Hayi | Iindleko zenkonzo ezahlulweyo kunye nokuphathwa kwazo kwerhafu |
Iinkonzo zothutho lwamazwe ngamazwe zihlala zingafakwanga xabiso kwi-GST xa ziyinxalenye yohambo oluya okanye oluphumayo eKhanada, yiyo loo nto umgca wokuthutha impahla olwandle kwi-invoyisi yomntu othumela impahla udla ngokungabonisi i-GST konke konke, ngelixa iinkonzo zasekhaya zaseKhanada ezifana nokuphathwa kwezikhululo, umthengisi kunye nokuthutha impahla yasekhaya zihlala zisenza njalo. Unyango oluchanekileyo luxhomekeke kwindlela iinkonzo ezinikezelwa ngayo kunye ne-invoyisi, ngoko cela uhlalutyo lomgca ngomgca.
Amaxabiso eMirhumo kwiimpahla zaseTshayina ngo-2026
I-Duty ayiyonxalenye yombuzo we-GST kunye ne-HST ephepheni, kodwa ngokwesiqhelo iqhuba ityala le-GST, ngoko ke naluphi na uqikelelo lweendleko olungayichaziyo aluphelelanga.
Canada’s Customs Tariff organizes every product into a ten-digit classification, and the MFN rate attached to that code is what Chinese-origin goods normally pay. The tariff is updated several times a year, and the most recent consolidated version published by the CBSA, T2026-2, took effect on September 1, 2026, so a rate you remember from a purchase two years ago may no longer apply. The table below gives broad, illustrative ranges for common product families.
| Usapho lwemveliso | Umsebenzi oqhelekileyo we-MFN | Yintoni omawuyibukele |
| Izixhobo ze-elektroniki zabathengi, iifowuni, iikhompyutha | Mahala (0%) kwiindlela ezininzi | GST is the only border charge unless a trade remedy applies |
| Izinto zokudlala kunye nemidlalo | Mahala (0%) kwiindlela ezininzi | Jonga imithetho yokhuseleko lwemveliso kunye nemithetho yokulebhelisha ngokwahlukeneyo |
| Impahla kunye nezixhobo zokunxiba | Malunga ne-16% ukuya kwi-18% | Ukwakheka kwelaphu kunye nesimo sokuluka okanye sokuluka sitshintsha ikhowudi |
| nezihlangu | Ukuya kuthi ga kwi-18% | Izinto ezikwindawo ephezulu neyomileyo zigqiba umgca |
| Amalaphu asekhaya (iibhedi, iitawuli) | Malunga ne-14% ukuya kwi-18% | Check fibre content and construction |
| Iimpahla zeplastiki kunye nezinto zasekhaya | Malunga ne 6.5% | Ezinye izinto ezidityaniswe nokutya zijongene neemfuno ezongezelelweyo |
| Furniture | Mahala ukuya kuthi ga kwi-9.5% | Izinto kunye nokusetyenziswa kumisela udidi |
| Izinto zentsimbi kunye ne-aluminiyam | Rhoqo ukusuka kwi-0% ukuya kwi-8% | Ingathwala irhafu ye-25% yaseTshayina okanye irhafu ye-SIMA |
Olu luhlu luzizikhokelo, hayi izigqibo. Amaxabiso okwenyani ayahluka ngokwemigca kunye neenkcukacha zemveliso, kwaye kufuneka aqinisekiswe ngokuchasene neRhafu yeRhafu yangoku kwikhowudi yakho enamanani alishumi.
Isifundo esibalulekileyo kukuba ikhonteyina enezinto ze-elektroniki inokutsala i-5% ye-GST kuphela, ngelixa ikhonteyina yempahla ijongene nerhafu yedola enye kunye ne-GST kwidola nganye yempahla ezine. Umxube wemveliso ngaphakathi kokuthunyelwa okudityanisiweyo okanye kwe-LCL ubalulekile, kuba umgca ngamnye uhlelwa ngokwahlukeneyo kwaye isimbuku sokungeniswa sisiphumo saloo migca.
Okokugqibela, khumbula ukuba ukwahlulwahlulwa kukuzimisela okusemthethweni. I-CBSA ijonga ukuba imveliso yenziwe ngantoni kwaye yenza ntoni, kungekhona ilebheli ekwi-invoyisi yomthengisi wakho, kwaye kwimiba yayo yokuthobela urhwebo kaJanuwari 2026, i-arhente ichaze ukwahlulwahlulwa kweerhafu kunye nokunyanzeliswa kwemiyalelo yerhafu engaphezulu njengeendawo ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe. Abangenisi abaphatha ikhowudi ye-HS njengento ecingelwayo emva koko ngabo bafumana uvavanyo olutsha.
Iirhafu ezingaphezulu kunye nemisebenzi yokulwa nokulahla inkunkuma: Apho uMthetho oYilwayo unokuqhuma khona
The 25 Percent China Surtax on Steel and Aluminum
IKhanada yabeka irhafu engaphezulu kwama-25 ekhulwini kwiimveliso zentsimbi kunye ne-aluminium ezenziwe eTshayina nge-22 ka-Okthobha 2024, kwaye iyaqhubeka nokusebenza kwiimpahla ezidweliswe kwiShedyuli 2 yoMyalelo we-China Surtax (2024). Irhafu engaphezulu ihlawuliswa ukongeza kwirhafu eqhelekileyo, ibalwa kwixabiso lerhafu, kwaye yona ngokwayo ifakiwe kwisiseko se-GST. Kumntu ongenisa izinto eziphuma kwi-aluminium, izibophelelo okanye ezinye izinto ezigqunyiweyo, kunokuba ngumahluko phakathi kwenkqubo enenzuzo kunye nelahleko.
Kukho ivalvu yokunceda. I-China Surtax Remission Order ivumela uncedo kwiimeko zokungabikho kwempahla, izibophelelo zesivumelwano kunye nezinye iimeko ezikhethekileyo kwiimpahla ezidwelisiweyo kunye nabangenisi abafanelekileyo, kwaye isilungiso esabhaliswa ngoJanuwari 2026 sandisa olo xolelo ukuya kuthi ga nge-31 kaDisemba 2026 ngelixa sicoca iinkcazo ezininzi zemveliso. Uxolelo aluzenzekeli. Kufuneka ulufake isicelo ngemvume echanekileyo kunye namaxwebhu axhasayo, ngoko ke yakha amaphepha ngaphambi kokuba iimpahla zifike endaweni yokuba zifike emva koko.
Izithuthi zoMbane: Ukusuka kwi-Surtax ye-100% ukuya kwiNkqubo yeMvume kunye neQuota
Utshintsho olukhulu kakhulu lowama-2026 lubandakanya izithuthi zombane zaseTshayina. Ukususela nge-1 kaMatshi 2026, irhafu ye-100% eyayisebenza ukusukela ngo-Okthobha 2024 yarhoxiswa. Endaweni yayo, iKhanada ifuna imvume yokungenisa impahla ethile evela kwiGlobal Affairs Canada kwizithuthi ezikwi-scope, isebenzisa irhafu ye-6.1% endaweni yerhafu ye-surtax, kwaye ikhupha iimvume ngaphakathi kwesabelo sonyaka esiqala nge-1 kaMatshi 2026 ukuya kwi-28 kaFebruwari 2027 ngokwesiseko sokufika kuqala, esinikezelwa kuqala.
Ngeenjongo ze-GST, isifundo silula. Isiseko ngoku lixabiso lesithuthi kunye nomrhumo we-6.1 yepesenti, endaweni yokuba ixabiso lesithuthi liphindwe kabini ngerhafu engaphezulu, ngoko ke ityala lerhafu lincinci kakhulu kunokuba beliya kuba njalo kunyaka ophelileyo. Kodwa imvume isebenza iintsuku ezingama-60 kuphela emva kokukhutshwa kwaye kufuneka iboniswe ngexesha lokukhululwa, kwaye ngaphandle kwayo ukungeniswa kwempahla kuyaliwa. Ixabiso lemvume ephosiweyo ayisiyorhafu kodwa sisithuthi esilahlekileyo. Ukungeniswa kwempahla okungeyorhwebo okugutyungelwe yimigaqo yeSahluko 98 kungaphandle kwemithetho emitsha.
Imisebenzi Yokuchasa Ukulahla Inkunkuma Nokuchasana Nemithetho Phantsi Kwe-SIMA
Udidi lwesithathu lolona lunokuguqula ixabiso elihle libe yintlekele. Phantsi kwe-SIMA, i-CBSA iphanda ukuba iimpahla ezivela kumazwe athile ziyalahlwa okanye ziyaxhaswa, kwaye xa ifumanisa ukuba ziyalahlwa, ibeka irhafu enokuthi inciphise iirhafu eziqhelekileyo. Iimpahla zaseTshayina zizinto ezixhaphakileyo ekujoliswe kuzo.
Izigqibo ezibini zakutshanje zibonisa isikali. Kwisigqibo sayo sokugqibela kwitafile zefayibha ezibunjiweyo ezifakwe kwi-thermoformed ezivela eTshayina, i-CBSA isebenzise, ukususela ngoMeyi 28, 2026, irhafu yokulwa nokulahla inkunkuma ye-332.4 ekhulwini yexabiso lokuthumela ngaphandle kunye nerhafu echaseneyo ye-4.83 yuan ngekhilogram. Emva koko, ngoJulayi 29, 2026, iarhente ikhuphe isigqibo sokuqala kwiintambo zokwakha ezingenazixhobo ezivela eTshayina, kunye nerhafu yexeshana ye-225.9 ekhulwini ehlawulwayo kwiimpahla ezikhutshwe ngaloo mhla okanye emva koko. Nganye kwezo mali iyondla kwisiseko se-GST, ngoko ke irhafu ilandela irhafu phezulu.
Imisebenzi ye-SIMA yeyona nto ibangela ukuba abangenisi bajonge uluhlu lwe-CBSA lwamanyathelo angoku ngaphambi kokuba ba-odole kumthengisi omtsha. Adibene nenkcazo yemveliso kunye nemvelaphi, kungekhona kwikhowudi yerhafu yodwa, oko kuthetha ukuba imveliso ehlelwe phantsi kwekhowudi okholelwa ukuba ikhuselekile isenokuthi ibanjwe. Amaxabiso anokwahluka ngokwe-exporter, amanyathelo anokuphinda ajongwe kuphononongo lokuphelelwa lixesha, kwaye imisebenzi inokuhlolwa emva kokukhululwa. Xa ufumana udidi olutsha, cela umthengisi wakho ukuba ajonge i-SIMA, kwaye ugcine amagama omvelisi kunye nabathumeli bempahla ehambelana noko kuthethwa yi-invoyisi.
Imizekelo Esebenzayo: Indlela Amanani Abonakala Ngayo
Amanani enza ukuba i-stacking order ibe yinto ecacileyo. Le meko ingezantsi icinga ukuba kukho umthengisi wezorhwebo kwiphondo apho kuphela i-5% ye-GST karhulumente eqokelelwa kumda, kwaye basebenzisa amaxabiso erhafu ajikelezayo nabonisayo. Amaxabiso akwiidola zaseKhanada kwaye awabandakanyi imithwalo yamazwe ngamazwe.
| Isimo | Ixabiso lomsebenzi | Uxanduva kunye nerhafu engaphezulu | Isiseko se-GST | I-GST kwi-5% | Isimbuku esihlawulwe kwi-CBSA |
| Electronics accessories, 0% duty | 50,000 | 0 | 50,000 | 2,500.00 | 2,500.00 |
| Iimpahla ezikwi-18% yomsebenzi | 30,000 | 5,400 | 35,400 | 1,770.00 | 7,170.00 |
| Aluminum article, 6.5% duty + 25% surtax | 20,000 | 6,300 | 26,300 | 1,315.00 | 7,615.00 |
| Izinto zeplastiki zasekhaya ezixabisa i-6.5% | 25,000 | 1,625 | 26,625 | 1,331.25 | 2,956.25 |
Kwimeko yokuqala, i-GST yimbali epheleleyo. Kweyesibini neyesithathu, irhafu yerhafu kunye nerhafu engaphezulu zinkulu ngokuphindwe kaninzi kune-GST, kwaye i-GST ngokwayo iphezulu kunokuba ibiya kuba njalo kwiimpahla zodwa kuba isiseko sikhulile. Le ndlela ihambelana neentlobo zemveliso: okukhona umthwalo werhafu unzima, kokukhona irhafu iyonke ihlawulwa ngumthengisi, kuba i-GST isetyenziswa kwisiseko esandisiweyo.
Kumntu obhalise kwi-GST, ikholamu ye-GST idla ngokufumaneka njengekhredithi yerhafu yokufaka, ngoko ke ixabiso lokwenyani elifunyenweyo lixabiso kunye nomrhumo kunye nerhafu engaphezulu kunye nempahla kunye neentlawulo, kungekhona isixa esipheleleyo kwikholamu yokugqibela. Kumntu ongabhalisanga, yonke idola kuloo kholamu lixabiso lokwenyani.
Ityala lokulungisa urhwebo libonisa indlela enokuba nzima ngayo le stack. Masithi, umzekelo nje, i-225.9 yepesenti yexabiso lesikhashana kwiintambo zokwakha lisetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo kwixabiso lokuthumela ngaphandle le-CAD 100,000. Umrhumo uza kuba yi-CAD 225,900, i-GST base CAD 325,900, i-GST CAD 16,295, kunye ne-CAD iyonke ehlawulwayo yi-242,195 kwiimpahla ezixabisa i-CAD 100,000. Uvavanyo lokwenyani lwe-SIMA luxhomekeke kumaxabiso athile athunyelwa ngaphandle kunye nendlela ebalwa ngayo umrhumo, kodwa umzekelo ubonisa isizathu sokuba ukujonga ulungiso lorhwebo ngaphambi koku-odola kungengokhetho.
Iipasela ezincinci, iCourier kunye neCAD 20 Threshold
Ayizizo zonke izinto ezithunyelwa eTshayina ezithunyelwa ngaphandle ezikwisikhongozeli. Isabelo esikhulayo somthamo sifika njengeepakethe zeposi okanye zeposi ezi-odolwe ngabathengi okanye ngabathengisi abancinci kwi-intanethi, kwaye imithetho yahlukile. IKhanada igcina umda we-CAD 20 we-courier kunye neposi ezivela kwamanye amazwe ngaphandle kwe-United States neMexico. Phantsi kwe-Courier Imports Remission Order, iimpahla ezixabisa okanye ezingaphantsi kweso sixa zinokungena simahla kwirhafu kunye nerhafu. Ngaphezulu kwayo, irhafu, i-GST kunye, apho kufanelekileyo, i-PST okanye i-HST iyasebenza.
Ukuthunyelwa kwempahla eTshayina akuzuzi kwirhafu ephezulu ye-CAD 40 kunye nemida yomthwalo we-CAD 150 esebenza kwiimpahla zeposi ezivela eMelika okanye eMexico phantsi kwe-CUSMA, kwaye loo mida ifuna ukuba iimpahla zingene kurhwebo lwase-US okanye eMexico ngaphambi kokuba zithunyelwe eKhanada. Inkqubo ye-Courier Low Value Shipment (CLVS), ekhethwayo ngabangenisi, ivumela abathumeli abathatha inxaxheba ukuba baxele kwaye bachaze ukuthunyelwa okunexabiso lomrhumo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-CAD 3,300 rhoqo ngenyanga. Nantoni na engaphezulu esiya ekungeneni ngokusesikweni.
| Umzila | Umda wokukhululwa kwirhafu | Umda wokukhululwa kwirhafu | amaNqaku |
| I-Courier evela eTshayina | CAD 20 | CAD 20 | Inkqubo ye-CLVS iyafumaneka ngamaxabiso afikelela kwi-CAD 3,300 |
| Iposi evela eTshayina | CAD 20 | CAD 20 | Akukho mingcele iphezulu ye-courier esebenzayo |
| I-Courier evela e-US okanye eMexico (CUSMA) | CAD 150 | CAD 40 | Iimpahla kufuneka zibe zingene kurhwebo apho kuqala |
| Ngaphezulu komda, ukuya kuthi ga kwi-CAD 3,300 | Umsebenzi uyasebenza | Kusebenza i-GST, i-HST okanye i-PST | Isusiwe phantsi kwe-CLVS okanye ukungena okunexabiso eliphantsi |
Ukwahlulahlula ii-odolo zibe ziipasele ezininzi ze-sub-CAD 20 okanye ukungazisi ixabiso eliphantsi komda kumngcipheko wokuthobela imithetho, kwaye i-CBSA ingacela amaxwebhu omthombo emva koko. Abathengisi abathumela rhoqo kubathengi baseKhanada kufuneka bacebe ukuqokelela okanye ukuhlawula irhafu kwangaphambili phantsi kwemiqathango ehlawulweyo yerhafu endaweni yokushiya umthengi ukuba ahlawule emnyango, kuba iindleko ezingalindelekanga zibangela ukwaliwa kunye nokubuyiselwa kwempahla.
I-CARM, i-RPP kunye nokuhamba kwemali: Uhlawula nini kwaye njani
Ekubeni inkqubo yoVavanyo lwe-CBSA kunye noLawulo lweNgeniso, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-CARM, yaba yinkqubo esisigxina yokubalwa kwerhafu, umbuzo awukho nje kuphela ukuba uhlawula malini kodwa ngubani onoxanduva kwaye nini. Wonke umthengisi wezorhwebo udinga inombolo yeshishini laseKhanada ekhutshwe yi-Canada Revenue Agency kunye neakhawunti yenkqubo yokungenisa impahla ngaphandle, kwaye inombolo yeshishini lomthengisi werhafu ayisakwazi ukusetyenziselwa ukukhulula iimpahla egameni lomthengisi werhafu.
Ukuze iimpahla zikhululwe ngaphambi kokuba kuhlawulwe irhafu kunye nemirhumo, umngenisi wempahla kufuneka abhaliswe kwinkqubo yokukhululwa ngaphambi kokuhlawula (RPP) kwaye emva kokhuseleko lwemali, nokuba yidiphozithi yemali okanye ibhondi yerhafu. Isixa-mali silinganiswa kwiiakhawunti eziphezulu zenyanga zomngenisi wempahla, kuquka i-GST, kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezidlulileyo. Umngenisi wempahla engenayo i-RPP kufuneka ahlawule ngokupheleleyo ngaphambi kokuba akhululwe, nto leyo enokugcina isikhongozeli kwisiphelo sendlela kwaye ibangele iindleko zokugcina.
Umngenisi werekhodi unoxanduva lwazo zonke iirhafu kunye neerhafu, kuquka naziphi na ezinye izixa ezifunyenwe kamva ngokuqinisekiswa okanye ukulungiswa kweempazamo. Uncedo lotshintsho lweCARM luphele ngoDisemba 31, 2025, kwaye ukusukela ngoJanuwari 31, 2026 iibhalansi ezidlulelwe lixesha zibe phantsi kwezohlwayo zokuhlawula emva kwexesha kunye nenzala. Ugcino lwemali lungeniswa ngeSibhengezo seAkhawunti yoRhwebo kwiPortal yaBathengi beCARM, kwaye umngenisi owela ngasemva umngcipheko wokulahlekelwa ngamalungelo e-RPP.
Kwabangenisi abancinci nabaphakathi, oku kuthetha ukuba i-GST yinto yemali ekufuneka icwangciswe kwangaphambili. Inkqubo ye-CAD 400,000 kwiimpahla ezithunyelwayo ngonyaka ivelisa malunga ne-CAD 20,000 kwi-GST ngaphambi kokuba kubalwe nayiphi na irhafu okanye irhafu engaphezulu, kwaye ngeeakhawunti ezilungisiweyo kumjikelo wengxelo yenyanga, ukuvezwa nangaliphi na ixesha sisabelo esibalulekileyo semali yokusebenza.
