Do you offer tax exemptions?

Certain purchases from T-shirt.ca may qualify for tax relief. The rules depend on the type of product, the purchaser and where the order is delivered.

Children’s Clothing Tax Relief

Qualifying children’s clothing shipped to British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island is automatically charged only the 5% federal GST.

BC Resellers and Apparel Decorators

We can remove PST from qualifying purchases made by eligible British Columbia resellers and apparel decorators.

Register Your PST Number

You must have a T-shirt.ca account and a valid BC PST number. Submit our PST registration form using the same email address attached to your account. Once your information has been reviewed, PST can be removed automatically from eligible purchases made through that account.

Customers purchasing products for resale without a PST number may be required to provide a completed Certificate of Exemption.

Tax Relief for First Nations Customers

Except for certain qualifying off-reserve purchases in Ontario, products must be delivered to verified reserve land by T-shirt.ca or our delivery provider to qualify for tax relief.

Request Approval Before Placing Your Order

Please contact us before ordering and provide the following:

  1. Create a T-shirt.ca account or sign in to your existing account.
  2. Contact us using the email address associated with that account.
  3. The name of the reserve and the First Nation or band.
  4. Clear images of the front and back of your valid Certificate of Indian Status or a Temporary Confirmation of Registration Document.
  5. The appropriate certification signed by an authorized officer when the purchaser is a band or eligible band-empowered entity.
  6. The complete reserve address where the products will be delivered.

We can apply tax relief only after verifying the purchaser, supporting documentation and delivery address.

Ontario Purchases

Eligible purchases delivered to reserve land in Ontario may qualify for full HST relief.

For certain qualifying purchases made off reserve, eligible Ontario First Nations purchasers may qualify for relief from the 8% provincial portion of the HST. The 5% federal portion remains payable. Contact us before placing the order so we can verify eligibility and explain how the relief or rebate will be handled.
