Sales Tax Policy

Clear tax rules for our Canadian customers.

At Kinami Health, we are committed to providing clear information on how Canadian sales tax applies to your orders. Unlike the European VAT system, sales tax in Canada is made up of federal and provincial components – GST, HST, PST/RST and QST – and the rate applied depends on the province or territory where your order is delivered.

Frequently asked questions

Does the price shown include tax?

Our store displays prices exclusive of tax until your shipping address is confirmed at checkout, where the applicable GST, HST, PST or QST is calculated based on your province or territory of delivery.

Why is my tax rate different from another province?

Canadian sales tax is set at the provincial and territorial level as well as federally, so the combined rate depends on where your order is delivered. A clinic in Ontario and a clinic in Alberta will see different rates on the same product.

I hold a tax exemption. How do I apply it?

Contact us at [email protected] with your order details and exemption documentation, and our team will review your account.

Will I receive a tax invoice?

Yes. A detailed invoice showing the tax applied to your order is provided for your records and accounting.
