Happy Holidays, AnGels ♥
If you're not aware, Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau, recently announced a tax break for all Canadians on certain goods during the holiday season through February. Let's dive into what this means for you.
The Canadian Tax Break is now a law (Bill C-78) that honours a temporary tax GST/HST break relief on certain items from December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025. This law applies to Canadians and Canadian addresses only. If you reside outside of Canada, standard taxes are still required to be remitted.
As a shopper, you should automatically receive this tax break on the qualifying items you buy. There should be no GST/HST charged on the item when you make your purchase. Generally, you do not need to save your receipts to get this tax break as a shopper. You only need to keep your receipt if you are charged GST/HST on a qualifying item in error.
If you believe you have been charged GST/HST on a product that qualifies for GST/HST relief, you should request a refund of the GST/HST from the supplier or retailer.
No GST/HST will be charged on a qualifying item, as long as it is both:
- Paid for in full between December 14, 2024, and February 15, 2025
- Delivered or made available to the buyer between December 14, 2024, and February 15, 2025
The items that qualify for GST/HST relief during this period qualify throughout the supply chain, whether they are being supplied from a manufacturer to a wholesaler, or from a wholesaler or a retailer to a consumer.
While AnGel Wellness sells consumables, the majority of our products fall under supplements or cosmetics, categories that are not covered by the tax break. Our products that do qualify are:
We acknowledge the goal of imposing this tax break, therefore would like to honour a break to all Canadians, especially members of our First Nations who already are tax exempt. From now until February 15th, save 15% on all orders* with code taxbreak.
