Do you offer tax exemptions?

SaveOnBlanks.ca provides tax relief on certain qualifying purchases. Eligibility and documentation requirements depend on the products ordered, the customer and the delivery location.

Children’s Clothing

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

Eligible resellers and apparel decorators located in British Columbia may have PST removed from qualifying purchases.

To request a PST exemption, you must have a SaveOnBlanks.ca account and a valid BC PST number. Complete our PST registration form using the same email address associated with your account. After we review and approve the information, qualifying orders placed through that account will be charged GST only.

If you are buying products for resale but do not have a PST number, we may ask you to complete a Certificate of Exemption.

First Nations Tax Relief

With the exception of certain eligible off-reserve purchases in Ontario, an order must be delivered to verified reserve land by SaveOnBlanks.ca or our delivery provider to qualify for tax relief.

Ontario Orders

Qualifying orders delivered to reserve land in Ontario may be eligible for full HST relief.
