What are the implications for Quebec restaurateurs?

With the coming into force of Bill 72, establishments must adjust their sales management systems and point-of-sale (POS) software to automatically calculate tips before provincial and federal taxes are applied. This obligation entails technical updates, a review of internal processes and appropriate training for staff in direct contact with customers.

These changes, while beneficial for the transparency of transactions and fairness to consumers, require rapid and effective mobilization of merchants to ensure full compliance and avoid any potential penalties.
