Municipal Election Notice

Please be advised:

The London Transit Commission cannot and does not support and/or endorse any candidate running for elected office. No candidate support and/or endorsement is to be construed if such candidates include any references to London Transit as part of their promotion.

Harmonized Sales Tax

Municipal transit services (defined as conventional and specialized transit services) are considered exempt services for the purposes of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). As exempt services the fares for conventional and specialized transit (applicable cash, ticket and pass fares) are exempt from the HST.

As such, the 13% HST, which takes effect on July 1, 2010, does not apply to the purchase or tendering of public transit fares. The exemption is consistent with the current exemption for the goods and service tax (5%) and provincial sales tax (8%).

Should you have any questions regarding the HST in respect of the fares, please contact LTC Customer Service at 519-451-1347.
