Tax Exemptions
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
We provide PST exemptions to eligible BC-based resellers and apparel decorators.
If you have a SaveOnShirts.ca account and a valid PST number, complete our PST registration form. Once your information has been reviewed, your account can be updated so that qualifying purchases are charged GST only.
Please use the same email address on the registration form that is associated with your SaveOnShirts.ca account.
If you do not have a PST number but are purchasing products for resale, you may be asked to complete a Certificate of Exemption.
First Nations Tax Relief
Except for certain qualifying off-reserve purchases in Ontario, goods must be delivered to verified reserve land by SaveOnShirts.ca or our delivery provider to qualify for tax relief.
How to Request Tax Relief
Please contact us before placing your order:
- Create or sign in to your SaveOnShirts.ca account.
- Contact us using the email address associated with your account.
- Provide the name of the reserve and the First Nation or band.
- Provide clear images of the front and back of your valid Certificate of Indian Status or a Temporary Confirmation of Registration Document.
- For purchases made by a band or eligible band-empowered entity, provide the appropriate certification signed by an authorized officer.

Tax relief applies only after the purchaser, documentation and shipping address have been verified.
Ontario Orders
Eligible orders delivered to reserve land in Ontario may qualify for full HST relief.
Eligible Ontario First Nations purchasers may also qualify for relief from the 8% provincial portion of the HST on certain qualifying off-reserve purchases. The 5% federal portion remains payable. Contact us before ordering so we can confirm eligibility and explain how the relief or rebate will be handled.
