Québec's New Tax Fairness Action Plan

On November 10, 2017, the Government of Québec tabled an Action Plan featuring consumption tax strategies for the digital and sharing economies.

Sharing economy: New tax compliance agreements

Regarding the sharing economy, the Action Plan stresses the appropriateness of the agreements reached by McCarthy Tétrault for Uber and Airbnb, and indicates that "the Québec government plans to meet with other businesses active in the sharing economy in order, as the case may be, to reach agreements like those entered into with Uber and Airbnb."

McCarthy Tétrault is the architect of these agreements. We understand the tax issues faced by sharing economy platforms and participants, and we know how to design practical solutions for our clients in compliance with tax laws. No other firm has the same experience.
