It’s not just us—life is getting more expensive, and with the holidays around the corner, the Canadian government is stepping in to help.
From December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025, the federal government will be waiving the GST on a range of items, including groceries, kids' clothing, snacks, and even Christmas trees.
Here’s a quick rundown of the eligible items:
- Children’s clothing, footwear, diapers, and car seats
- Print newspapers and books
- Christmas or decorative trees
- Food, snacks, alcoholic (excluding spirits) and non-alcoholic beverages
- Select children’s toys
- Jigsaw puzzles (for all ages)
- Video-game consoles, controllers, and physical games
