179.1. A supply made by way of sale to a recipient, other than a consumer, who is registered under Division I of Chapter VIII of movable corporeal property, other than property referred to in the third paragraph, is a zero-rated supply where the recipient provides the supplier with a shipping certificate, within the meaning of section 427.3, certifying that an authorization to use the certificate granted to the recipient under that section is in effect at the time the supply is made, and discloses to the supplier the number referred to in section 427.5 and the expiry date of the authorization.
The first paragraph does not apply where an authorization granted by the Minister to use the certificate is not in effect at the time the supply is made or the recipient does not ship the property outside Québec in the circumstances described in paragraphs 2 to 4 of section 179, unless the supplier did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known, at or before the latest time at which tax in respect of the supply would have become payable if the supply were not a zero-rated supply, that the authorization was not in effect at the time the supply was made or that the recipient would not so ship the property outside Québec.
The property to which the first paragraph refers is(1) excisable goods; or
(2) a continuous transmission commodity that must be transported by or on behalf of the recipient by means of a wire, pipeline or other conduit.
