    Tax !

    Hi guys - can you change the way tax is calculated on your website ?

    I am in BC, and if I order from outside the province I do not have to pay the PST.

    I'd like to buy, but not give unnecessary funds to the tax man.

    You pay whatever tax you would at a store in your province of residence. You pay GST, PST, HST, whatever.

    From the cra website

    GST, HST or PST?

    CRA's Place of Supply rules determine which tax a business should collect.

    The easiest way to determine the rate of tax to charge is to look at the province or territory in which the product is supplied to the customer. If a product was bought in your business, the customer pays your jurisdiction’s sales taxes. If a customer asks you to deliver products to a different province or territory, you charge the taxes of the jurisdiction where the product ends up.

    So yes you pay whatever taxes apply to your province

    Nope. Gst only provinces pay only Gst no matter where they buy from. Pst provinces pay Gst only unless they purchase from their home province. HST provinces pay the big tax no matter where they purchase from.

    Depends if the business operates in your province as well. Isn't this business part of a Home Hardware?

    I’m in MB and we have 5% GST and 7% RST (aka PST). Not all websites charge the RST, apparently because they aren’t registered to do so. I think that technically MB shoppers are then supposed to submit that amount directly, but I doubt many do.
