22.1. The duties payable for a permit are(1) $365 for a manufacturer’s permit;
(2) $92 for a renovator’s permit; and
(3) for an artisan’s permit:(a) $22 if the permit is issued to a person who makes fewer than 100 upholstered or stuffed articles per year;
(b) $52 if the permit is issued to a person who makes between 100 and 499 upholstered or stuffed articles per year; and
(c) $107 if the permit is issued to a person who makes between 500 and 999 upholstered or stuffed articles per year.
The duties are adjusted on 1 January every year according to the rate of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Canada established by Statistics Canada for the 12-month period ending on 30 September of the preceding year.
Adjusted amounts are rounded down to the nearest dollar if they include a dollar fraction that is less than $0.50, or up to the nearest dollar if they include a dollar fraction that is equal to or greater than $0.50. The application of this rounding rule may not operate to decrease duties below their pre-adjustment level.
If an adjusted amount cannot be rounded up to the nearest dollar, the annual adjustments are deferred and accumulated until the duties payable include a dollar fraction that is equal to or greater than $0.50.
The Minister publishes the results of the adjustment in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
