Revel in the joy of our grand tax holiday! There will be no sales tax on thousands of items, to boost your solstice spending power! Video games, so long as you don't buy them the normal way. Some beverages, depending on size and ingredients. Pencil crayons, if they're bought as part of a package that contains blue ones. What spectacular benevolence!

What happens if a retailer doesn't update their SKU codes in time for Christmas and charges GST on items that are GST exempt? But does figure it out before it's time to make a remittance?

There’s always the option to claim back inappropriately taxed funds. There are lots of situations where specific individuals are exempt from GST on various items, and SKUs are almost never set up to accommodate that.

Keep your receipts and you can claim them on the gc.ca website.
