If you’re a registered taxpayer in British Columbia, Manitoba, or Saskatchewan, you can become exempt from the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) by providing Printify with your tax registration details. Note that the exemption will apply only to orders shipped to the 3 mentioned provinces.

When it comes to the taxes charged in other provinces (HST, GST, and QST), these are VAT-type taxes, which means that an exemption cannot be offered in these cases. However, if you’re a registered taxpayer in Canada, you will be able to reclaim these taxes via your tax returns.
