Important Update: GST/HST Changes & Holiday Tax Break
We’re here to keep you informed about some big changes happening to taxes on your purchases. Starting December 14, 2024, new federal GST/HST regulations come into effect, which means changes to how taxes are applied at checkout.
But there’s also great news! The government is introducing a GST/HST holiday tax break to help families save on essential baby products during the holiday season.
What’s Changing?
Under the new regulations:
- All orders will include GST/HST based on your province of delivery, reflecting updated government requirements.
- From December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025, eligible baby products will qualify for a temporary tax exemption—no GST or HST will be applied to qualifying items during this period.
What’s the GST/HST Holiday Tax Break?
This government initiative is designed to ease financial pressures during the holiday season by making essential baby products more affordable.
What Categories Are Included?
The following baby essentials will be eligible for the GST/HST holiday tax exemption:
- Diapers (cloth and disposable)
- Children’s clothing, including bibs, blankets, socks, hats, mittens
- Children's footwear
- Car Seats
- Food
- Physical Books (excluding colouring and sticker books)
- Select toys – board/card games, imitation toys (dolls, cars, action figures), dolls, soft toys, constructions toys
