Amazon Canada GST/HST Fees 2026: Tax Guide for Sellers
Referral Fees
Amazon.ca referral fees are calculated before GST/HST — the tax is added to the buyer price but does not affect your fee base. Budget for provincial PST if selling in BC or Quebec.
Currency & Payment Processing
GST/HST does not increase Amazon.ca fees — fees apply to pre-tax sale price. Cross-border sellers should factor in import duties as well.
VAT & Tax Requirements
Canadian sellers must register for GST once revenue exceeds CAD $30,000/year. HST applies in ON, NB, NS, PE, NL (13–15%). BC, AB, SK, MB, QC, Territories use GST+PST or QST. Input tax credits can offset GST paid on inventory.
