Sales taxes charged, but....

A simple solution is for vendors that have an HST registered, just put the # out there for clients to see. If the vendor doesn't... and doesn't collect the HST(as per a post earlier), wouldn't he/she have an advantage to underprice his/her product and look like a lower priced vendor? I'm not trying to make fuss here, but how would the clients know if the vendor does have a registered HST if they don't have any type of exposure info on site, receipts, etc? I do express my confidence of the Can. vendors that I have dealt with and have the utmost gratitude in the great service that they deliver. I don't question their authenticity in their dealings in any way.
Most don't know that RC only taxes Ebayers for over $20G/year, might be more now...

Cheers and let's do all we can to get vaping regulated and not HC controlled by their ways and means.

Customer's do have the choice of shopping around you know. If you ask a vendor to authenticate his HST/GST registration #, and he doesnt reply, you always have the opportunity to shop elsewhere with a vendor that does.

A good way to know you are dealing with a "by the book" supplier is by getting this #. If he doesnt give it out prior to your order being placed, obviously there is something fishy going on.

Note to all suppliers: If a client asks you for it, you better give it to them. Otherwise, you might lose the sale.

For someone who stated I don't like drama, you sure have a funny way demonstrating it, just saying

 

[MattB]

How is this creating drama? I'm simply telling the OP he has options. And that suppliers might lose out if they refuse to share this registration # prior to the orders being placed.

Personally, i dont care and will still pay the tax even if i dont get the #.

Fact is, it's the law to list your registration # on your receipts if you have one and are charging taxes. Any supplier who doesnt is breaking this law. And if you dont have one, then you CANNOT charge tax. If you do, then your screwing everybody and breaking the law. Plain and simple.

... talk about beating a dead horse.

It's simple. Follow the law or dont ... if and when it is discovered, it will only hurt the rep of the supplier ... not it's customers. It is the customers who make the supplier ... not the other way around. If suppliers want to keep their customer bases, they have to listen to what they want. If they want a lawful vendor, then registration to claim HST/GST collection shouldnt be an issue for them ... seeings it's free to register and will surely provide them with tax credits come year end. Providing said registration # on their website for everyone to see shouldnt be asking too much IMHO.

Personally, i'd prefer dealing with vendors who are above par when it comes to these things. Wouldnt you?

I'll just add more fuel to this. All that matters here is that if a business charges GST or HST or in Quebec GST/TVQ they must by law inscribe their registration number on the invoice. period.

This allows this to happen;
Check of registrant number for validity;

In Quebec it's;

Everything else is pure speculation, discussion, conjecture and dreaming.

Off topic and assumptions are pure speculation. This is what starts the craziness. Oh, let's just point fingers and assume we're all guilty of trying to find the cheapest item at the quickest time through the shadiest dealer. Better still, lets hack the bank index for account numbers and interac transfers so we can get everything for free.

I had to read through this one as it was a pet peeve of mine. I ran a business for many years and didn't collect gst. Even doing commercial contracts I had discussions over my invoices. I never showed over $30,000 on the books so never registered to collect. way too much hassle once you do start... and I know someone personally that collected without and got caught... he's still paying that money back. I did believe there are many vendors collecting but not submitting, and still do.

scamming customers is one thing, but scamming the tax man is another. tax man doesn't like people messing with their line of work.

 

[MattB]

While on the subject ... i cant believe this hasnt been brought up before(or in the last few months anyways) ...

The fact that these guys are charging taxes on sales of a controlled substance was always beyond me ... Although i'm buying the controlled substance, so who am i to judge?

There's always South of the border where they charge no tax, cheaper too

You're a legitimate business selling perfectly legal e-cigarette kits and accessories. You also happen to be selling nicotine liquid. You charge GST/PST/HST, whatever on all the sales and pay Revenue Canada's taxes. And everything's fine.

If Health Canada has a problem with your nicotine sales, well they're a different Government agency.

What's so hard to understand about that?
