#Filing

1382769 Ontario Limited, operating as Kelsey’s Gardiners Restaurant, and 1622356 Ontario Limited, operating as Montana’s Restaurant — NOI filed, Ontario.

Filing brief

Kelsey's and Montana's: two profitable restaurants filed anyway

Two franchised restaurants in adjacent units of the same Kingston mall, sharing an owner and a hundred employees, filed notices of intention on the same day. Their fifteen-week cash flow forecasts both project a net inflow. What they cannot pay out of that margin is the HST they collected and did not remit.
