1079.8.34.3. A maintenance work business that has entered into a particular maintenance work contract with a subcontractor must obtain from the subcontractor a copy of each certificate that the subcontractor is required to hold under the first paragraph of section 1079.8.34.2 because of that contract, ensure that it is valid and verify its authenticity in the prescribed manner, on or before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract begins or, in the case of a subsequent certificate, the day that follows the last day of the period of validity of the preceding certificate.

The maintenance work business described in the first paragraph must also, on or before the day provided for in the third paragraph, report, in the prescribed manner, an amount that is the aggregate of the amounts that it was billed by the subcontractor in relation to the maintenance work provided for in the particular maintenance work contract, in each of the quarters ending on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December in a year.

The day to which the second paragraph refers is the last day of the month following the month in which the quarter referred to in that paragraph ends.

The first amount that the maintenance work business must report under the second paragraph must also include any amount billed in respect of the particular contract before the beginning of the maintenance work.

This section does not apply to a maintenance work business that, on the day the maintenance work provided for in a contract begins, does not hold a registration certificate issued under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax (chapter T-0.1).

However, where the maintenance work business becomes, after the day referred to in the fifth paragraph and before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract ends, the holder of a registration certificate under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax, this section applies to the maintenance work business as if the maintenance work provided for in the contract has begun on the date that is 30 days after the date on which the business became the holder of such a certificate.
