In Taxes, Emporiosa writes:    To whomever it may concern at BrickLink (I'll also send a copy to support) - Primarily a heads-up as this could have a financial impact for BrickLink if they are in error of collection from some sellers: I was checking the receipt for the Nov/Dec because I am registered for GST/HST and I am refunded as an ITC credit for these amounts paid (whether it be a service, for goods, etc..). The newsletter made me realize it was already starting to be collected. I noticed the receipt had no GST # on it, which in Canada is usually required when you collect GST/HST. I'm not exactly sure how it works for the cross-border digital tax like this one (and I'm not talking about the ones you guys will implement in the future - just the one on the seller's commissions), but when researching, I found this (and BrickLink is most definitely aware that I'm GST/HST registered as I'm the one who keeps pushing for tax settings for Canada ): _____ Determining the status of your customers Your customer is considered a specified Canadian recipient if: -the usual place of residence of the customer is situated in Canada, and -the customer does not provide you with satisfactory evidence that the customer is registered for the GST/HST under the normal GST/HST regime. If you obtain the GST/HST registration number of your customer who is registered for the GST/HST under the normal GST/HST regime, you are not required to charge and collect the GST/HST on the specified supply that you make to this customer. If the GST/HST registered customer provides their GST/HST registration number and the GST/HST is still charged and collected, the customer is able to request a refund from you. Any GST/HST paid by the registered customer in such cases is not recoverable by claiming an input tax credit or by filing a rebate application for an amount paid as tax paid in error. ___ If I'm interpreting this correctly, and I'll verify with CRA today, BrickLink wasn't supposed to be collecting this tax on sellers who were already registered for GST/HST and we can request a refund not from the CRA, but from BrickLink and BrickLink will not be able to reclaim this from the CRA because it was an error in how they collected. Reference: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/digital-economy-gsthst/charge-collect/cross-border.html (that blurb came from the "Who charges and collects the GST/HST" We have received your message and passed it along to the appropriate team. Just to clarify, the tax BrickLink is charging Canadian sellers now is tax on the fees, not tax on the orders. Charging the tax due on an order is a separate matter, and BrickLink is working with the Canadian authorities to determine our obligation in this area. We will share the result of that discussion when it is settled.
