The luxury tax is to be remitted on a quarterly basis. Ths first quarter effectively covered the September 1 to December 31 period.
When a quarter is completed, taxpayers have until the end of the following month to file the return with the CRA and to remit the luxury tax revenues to the Receiver General for Canada. The reality is that that process was just completed a couple of weeks ago. As a result, the department has not yet received microdata with respect to how much revenue has been collected by the luxury tax. We will start receiving that information in the near future.
When we look at parallel new tax measures that we have implemented over the years, we see that it takes a few months after we start receiving returns to have a broader sense of the situation, the lay of the land.
That said, we have worked extensively with the CRA and with the CBSA to ensure that those two administrative agencies were providing technical assistance to taxpayers. My understanding is that the CRA website, in particular, includes a list of notices intended for the various audiences, those who have to register under the tax. In that sense, the lessons learned...are likely to continue to have a good working relationship—
