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.
