GST/HST Tax Break

What is this page?

• From December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025 the Government of Canada has announced a GST/HST tax break on certain products.
• Here you will find the 72 products we sell that are now exempt from GST/HST.
• Some of our products are still taxed such as powders that are classified at dietary supplements. For example our protein powders are classified as such and thus are not exempt.
• Please note that shipping is still taxed.
• As per government rules the orders must be paid for in full and available. Thus please make sure your order is fully paid before February 15, 2025 and that we cannot apply the tax break for preorders.
