Hello, how can I help you today?

When making a purchase online from Canada, there are several reasons why you might not have been charged taxes:

1. Vendor Location: If the seller is situated in a province or territory that doesn't require taxes for certain transactions, they may not charge tax on your purchase. For example, some provinces do not have a provincial sales tax (PST).
2. Thresholds: Some provinces have a minimum revenue threshold for businesses before they must charge sales tax. If the seller's sales are below that threshold, they may not be required to collect taxes.
3. Exempt Goods: Certain items may be exempt from sales tax in Canada. If your purchase falls into an exempt category (like basic groceries or some medical supplies), taxes might not be applied.
4. Shipping from Outside Canada: If the product is shipped from outside Canada, it may not be subject to Canadian sales taxes, but customs duties or taxes may apply upon import.
5. Tax-Exempt Status: If you provided information that qualifies for tax-exempt status, such as being a reseller or a non-profit organization, the seller may not have charged you tax.
6. Errors in Processing: Sometimes, it could simply be an error in the seller’s checkout system or website which resulted in taxes not being applied.

If you are concerned about the lack of taxes being charged, you may wish to review the invoice or receipt and contact the seller for clarification. Additionally, be aware that you might still be liable for any applicable duties or taxes upon importing goods into your province or territory.
