Canadian (Ontario) CPAP gear, + 13% HST or not?

Post by ShelaghDB » Wed Jul 30, 2014 10:01 pm

Hi fellow Canadians, particularly those from Ontario. I need to know IF 13% HST is added on to the prices of masks, hoses,machines, etc. Can any one remember if they have paid it or not when purchasing items for CPAP?

I am not positive if tax is included with medical supplies or not?
And if there is, I am guessing its the typical 13% HST rather than 8% or something less


Thanks

I have never paid any tax on my cpap supplies purchased in Ontario. As medical equipment, it is all tax exempt. Any cpap items bought in Ontario are expensive enough anyway!
