PST-Exempt Customers/Provincial Governments
The goods you've ordered may be exempt from certain provincial sales taxes. In Ontario, for example, several types of printed publications are PST exempt, including news bulletins, policies and procedure manuals, technical manuals, etc. To qualify, the materials must:
- Be printed
- Be produced by or for a group, club, society or organization for the interest of its members
- Contain information or literary matter of a non-promotional nature
- Not contain paid advertising
To take advantage of your tax-exempt status, place your order and fax us your e-mail address, order number, and acceptable proof of your order's exempt status based on the province to which the items will be shipped.
