    I agree with strataact – it’s probably a line item that helps to reduce the general service fee or whatever your strata manager calls it.  Could be a way for them to divide up their own costs in managing GST, payroll tax etc.

    Ask them for a detailed breakdown on how those fees were spent.  And if it’s all about lodging a nil return, then consider Jimmy’s suggestion.

    BTW I asked our strata manager to explain in detail some items on our statement and it took months.  They really didn’t want to justify themselves.  Turns out we had been charged for some very sloppy and ultimately useless work they had done for us.  They ended up waiving the fee as a “gesture of goodwill.”  But more importantly, questioning them and continuing to chase the question up over several months sent a message that we’re watching them and we won’t pay for shoddy work.
