The Goods and Services Tax and Harmonized Sales Tax have generated many volumes of case law. This poses a challenge for practitioners who need to track the cases and quickly grasp the full implications of each decision. Commencing in 1992, Canada GST Cases has dealt exclusively with decisions under the GST and HST.
