it's NON-TAXABLE

[baby_bluez]

the way i look at it... is... if the gov't figures out that im gettin my clothes w/ no pst... they can audit me. its my problem. not the stores... thats why you gotta sign ur address and name n shit.

reason i ask is that because during psychology in class today my friend was tellin me how E-town has only one tax. So this makes me think if we're the only province in all of canada that actually only has one tax. thanx

That is incorrect.

Alberta has no provincial tax, that is the only province that does not. All others do.

ahhh ok.

i only ask for no tax on items that are like close to the $100 range or more. Anything under around $50 or so i dont really care. But i agree that these retailers are cunts when they get all bitchy to you or decline you. Like everybody has said who gives a fuck? It dont come out of their paycheck anyways.

just no tax on kids clothes or something?

You can also get the no tax thing on school supplies.

ah yes. "No Tak! No Tak!" running joke at my place of work.

I personally could care less. If you fill out the form properly and let me know beforehand, it's no skin off my back. What people don't realize is that the information isn't for us, we really don't care where the hell you live. That stuff goes to the gov't and if it's not filled out properly our company has to pay back the tax money to the gov't.

I usually give them a hard time if they're bitchy about it or let me know AFTER I've rang everything through. "Oh so that Plus Size Jones New York suit and all that skimpy lingerie is for your 14 year old. riiiiiiiiiiiite."

*Edit* I'm an idiot :soak:

[PHUNK]

so if i'm buying something expensive, i can simply say i'm buying it for someones 14th birthday or something? and thats it? no 7.5%tax?

thats cool. i never knew that.

thanks guys.

[c.tard]

^ no it's only on clothes, not everything.

[Taddy_Bare]

not just anything. Clothes and shoes.

*Edit* Damn you c-tard! beat me to it :P

First off, if someone says "It's non-taxable" it is ILLEGAL for the sales associate to question them. The non-taxable idea is based on the honour system.

??? for real? god, that's stupid... the 'honor system' is a joke in 2003, as proven by this thread... why don't they just go ahead and make all clothing untaxable instead of penalizing honest people and rewarding liars.

kids clothes are usually automatically no tax, but you have to request it for adult ones.

14 or younger.
At 15 you're legally allowed to work and therefore you have to pay the PST (this is the whole theory behind the tax exemption idea).

Somewhat true.
These items have to be purchased from a store that specializes in school supplies, ie. Staples, Grand and Toy, etc. For example, I'm not allowed to PST-exempt any backpacks or notebooks or binders at my store even if they are for school because we don't specialize in these items.

For anyone who cares, here's the list of items that may be PST-exempt (from http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/TopicIndex.htm#C):

* dresses, suits, coats, skirts, trousers, blouses, shirts, underwear, sweaters, pyjamas
* socks, stockings
* gloves, mittens
* hats
* footwear
* baby clothing - bibs, blankets, bunting bags, cloth diapers, rubber pants, shawls (children's blankets are taxable)
* belts and braces
* brassieres, garters, girdles, panty hose, socks without feet
* sportswear - baseball caps and shoes, bathing caps and suits, gym shorts and skirts, football boots, ski boots, sweat suits and shirts, track suits and shoes, sweaters for hockey, soccer, lacrosse, etc
* ties
* uniforms - school, Girl Guide, Brownie, Boy Scout, Cub, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, baseball, etc (not including protective padding)
