Tax exemption for wholesale purchases (Canada)

Fullscript will not collect provincial sales tax on eligible wholesale orders when you provide a valid resale certificate or provincial tax number for the province the order is shipping to. In Canada, resale exemptions apply only to the provincial portion of sales tax. The 5% federal GST still applies in most cases.

Provinces with resale exemptions

Resale exemptions may apply in:

• Manitoba (RST)
• Saskatchewan (PST)

Provinces without resale exemptions

Resale exemptions don’t apply in:

• British Columbia (PST not collected by Fullscript)
• Québec (QST must be collected regardless of registration status)
• Ontario
• New Brunswick
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Nova Scotia
• Prince Edward Island
• Alberta
• Northwest Territories
• Nunavut
• Yukon

Exemption review

After you submit your tax exemption information, our Finance team reviews your request. If your details are valid, approval may take up to 5 business days.

Refunds for provincial tax

If provincial tax is charged on an order after you submit your tax exemption information, you can request a refund.

Our Tax team reviews all refund requests before issuing a refund. Approval isn’t guaranteed. We assess each request based on factors like the amount, the time period covered, and whether the tax has already been remitted to the appropriate tax authority.

If approved, refunds apply only to the provincial portion of the tax (for example, PST or RST). The 5% federal GST typically isn’t refundable.
