The reverse charge mechanism is a tax collection method used in value-added tax (VAT) systems. It shifts the responsibility of reporting and paying the VAT from the seller (supplier) to the buyer (recipient) of the goods or services. 4, record 2, English, - reverse%20charge%20mechanism
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Canada uses a reverse-charge mechanism with respect to certain sales of real property by non-residents and some supplies between provinces... In the ITC [input taxcredit] context, the CRA [Canada Revenue Agency] could allow GST/HST [goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax]registrants in certain problem industries to remit the taxpayable on their inputs directly; however, if a reverse-charge mechanism is applied only to certain transactions or industries, it may simply shift the problem to other areas. 3, record 2, English, - reverse%20charge%20mechanism

Le mécanisme d'autoliquidation de la TVA [taxe sur la valeur ajoutée] permet à un acquéreur ou à un preneur établi au sein de l'UE [Union européenne] de déclarer et liquider la TVA des biens et services qu'il a reçu d'un fournisseur ou d'un prestataire établi dans un autre État membre ou dans un État tiers à l'UE. La charge de la collecte et de la déclaration de TVA est donc inversée. 4, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20de%20versement%20invers%C3%A9
