Certain wholesalers and retailers in Newfoundland and Labrador may need to update their systems because of new tax obligations related to the upcoming tax on sugar sweetened beverages. This "sweetened beverage tax" of 20 cents per litre, which is effective September 1, 2022, also requires wholesalers who sell these drinks to issue invoices that contain specific details (which the province is expected to outline soon).
These recently enacted measures also outline:
- When the sweetened beverage tax is payable
- Exempt beverages
- Rules for imports of sugar-sweetened beverages into the province
- Who must collect and remit the sweetened beverage tax and the related remittances deadlines.
