Wotherspoon v. The Queen, [2011] GSTC 108, 2011 TCC 343 (Informal Procedure), briefly aff’d 2012 FCA 271 -- summary under Residential Complex

By services, 28 November, 2015

The appellant purchased a condo unit for personal use as a residence. The unit had been used by the vendor as a ski rental unit. In finding that the unit was not a residential complex, so that the appellant was not entitled to a rebate of the GST charged to it on the purchase, Campbell J stated (at para. 9):

The evidence supports that the property was not a premises similar to those described in subsection 123(1), that the vendors used a company that arranged for the rentals, hired individuals to clean the unit, rented it for short-term periods averaging seven to ten days and that the vendors never used it as a place for their personal residence. This means that the property falls within the concluding portion of subsection 123(1)… .
