"To throw a bit more math into the mix, if less than 5 hours are spent on the project after June 30/10, this time is HST exempt as it is less than 90% of the service." This sounds like you are saying it hinges on if less than 90% is completed after. Did you mean to say less than 10% after? [= more than 90% prior] i.e. if most of the work (> 90%) is done prior, the entire thing is billed at the old rates. If a more significant portion is completed after (>10%, so less than 90% is prior), then a split billing applies. “Any service or portion of service performed on or after July 1, 2010 is subject to HST, unless the portion is less than 90% of the service.”
