SCHEDULE IX
(Section 144.1)

SUPPLY IN A PROVINCE

PART I

INTERPRETATION

1. The definitions in this section apply in this Schedule.

``lease interval'', in respect of a supply by way of lease, licence or similar arrangement, has the same meaning as in section 136.1 of the Act.

``place of negotiation'' of a supply means the location of the supplier's permanent establishment at which the individual principally involved in negotiating for the supplier the agreement for the supply ordinarily works, or to which that individual ordinarily reports, in the performance of the individual's duties in relation to the activities of the supplier in the course of which the supply is made and, for the purposes of this definition, ``negotiating'' includes the making or acceptance of an offer.

2. For the purposes of this Schedule,

    (a) a floating home, and

    (b) a mobile home that is not affixed to land

are each deemed to be tangible personal property and not real property.

3. For the purposes of this Schedule, where an agreement for the supply of property or a service is entered into but the property is never delivered to the recipient or the service is never performed, the property is deemed to have been delivered, or the service is deemed to have been performed, where the property or service was to be delivered or performed, as the case may be, under the terms of the agreement.

4. Where, for the purpose of determining, under this Schedule, if a supply is made in a province, reference is made to the ordinary location of property and, from time to time, the supplier and recipient mutually agree upon what is to be the ordinary location of the property at a particular time, that location is deemed, for the purposes of this Schedule, to be the ordinary location of that property at the particular time.

5. The definition ``courier'' in subsection 123(1) does not apply for the purposes of this Schedule.

PART II

TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY

1. Subject to section 3 of Part VI, a supply by way of sale of tangible personal property is made in a province if the supplier delivers the property or makes it available in the province to the recipient of the supply.

2. A supply of tangible personal property otherwise than by way of sale is made in a province if

    (a) in the case of a supply made under an agreement under which continuous possession or use of the property is provided for a period of no more than three months, the supplier delivers the property or makes it available in the province to the recipient of the supply; and

    (b) in any other case,

      (i) where the property is a specified motor vehicle, it is required, at the time the supply is made, to be registered under the laws of the province relating to the registration of motor vehicles, and

      (ii) where the property is not a specified motor vehicle, the ordinary location of the property, as determined at the time the supply is made, is in the province.

3. For the purposes of this Part and Part VII, property is deemed to be delivered in a particular province by a supplier and is deemed not to be delivered in any other province by the supplier where the supplier

    (a) ships the property to a destination in the particular province that is specified in the contract for carriage of the property or transfers possession of the property to a common carrier or consignee that the supplier has retained on behalf of the recipient to ship the property to such a destination; or

    (b) sends the property by mail or courier to an address in the particular province.
