STATUS EXEMPT

If you qualify for tax exempt status and have a Status Exempt Card,  are the purchaser, and your order is being delivered to a reserve, then you can register with us. Your account will then be updated and any purchases made going forward will be tax exempt of provincial taxes. 

 

For Alberta: If you place an order to have it delivered to your reserve, you're exempt from paying GST and HST if you can provide us with your valid Status card and, when placing your order, you must have your Status card # within your invoice (shipping address). This applies except for Inuit or Métis as they are not eligible for this exemption by the Canada Revenue Agency, which regulates the taxes in NS, NL, PEI, NB and AB.
