Temporary GST Exemption on Books
Just a note to Canadian booksellers. The following is in effect Dec. 14-Feb. 14.
Print newspapers will be deemed tax-free, although electronic or digital publications will not. Also, printed books and audio books are covered, as are “bound or unbound printed version(s) of scripture of any religion.”
Not on the list: magazines or periodicals purchased individually and not part of a subscription, books designed to be written in, colouring books, scrap books, calendars, agendas, or “an assemblage of charts or an assemblage of street or road maps.” Guidebooks and atlases that consist of maps that are not street or road maps will, however, be tax-free.
