Education-related services exempt GST/HST in Canada
-
Dear WooCommerce Community and Experts,
Thank you for reading this question. According to the below Government of Canada website regarding GST/HST,
Under General, paragraph states,
“Supplies of many educational services, as well as certain specific supplies of related property and services, are exempt from the GST/HST. These exemptions are listed in Part III of Schedule V.”
Currently, everytime a customer in Canada purchases our product on our WordPress website (hosted by a Canadian company in Canada) using WooCommerce payment, he or she is charged 13% GST/HST. Therefore, under the guideline regarding education-service published by the Canadian government, so how do we apply update to WooCommerce that everytime a Canadian customer purchases our products, they don’t face the 13% GST/HST?
Thank you!

Hi there @kevinlutoronto
how do we apply update to WooCommerce that everytime a Canadian customer purchases our products, they don’t face the 13% GST/HST?
As I understand, all customers at your store ordering from Canada are exempt of the 13% GST/HST. Correct?
Have you had a chance to follow-up on the documentation, @seank123 shared, already?
In a nutshell, feel free to go ahead with adding Canada in the Zero-rate tax classes screen, and (optionally) apply that class to the related products, while making sure that Canada is not referenced in another class in the other tax screens. Some tax rate examples, and how they are set up, are linked here.
Thank you for pitching-in @seank123 ??</img>
Let us know how that goes!
