# Why is GST, HST, PST or QST added to my Uplifter bill?

> Uplifter charges clubs in Canada sales tax on their Uplifter subscription based on the club's province, and clubs in the US are not taxed.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Canada only.** Uplifter adds sales tax to its subscription invoices for clubs in Canada, based on your club's province. Clubs in the US are not taxed.
  * **Plan prices are shown before tax.** A price marked "plus applicable tax" is the pre-tax price. What you're charged includes the tax.
  * **Billing history shows the tax in its own column.** The **Tax** column is already part of what you were billed, not an extra charge on top of **Amount**.
</Note>

**What this tax is.** It's Uplifter's sales tax on what your club pays Uplifter, not the tax your club charges families.

**Which tax, and how much.** The tax and rate follow your club's province or territory:

| Province or territory | Tax | Rate |
| - | - | - |
| Ontario | HST | 13% |
| New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island | HST | 15% |
| Nova Scotia | HST | 14% |
| Alberta, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon | GST | 5% |
| British Columbia | GST + PST | 5% + 7% |
| Saskatchewan | GST + PST | 5% + 6% |
| Quebec | GST + QST | 5% + 9.975% |

Manitoba's retail sales tax is never charged on your Uplifter bill.

**Where your province comes from.** Uplifter uses the province in your club's address, shown on the **Contact Information** card at **Settings > Organization > Overview** (select **Edit** at the top of that page, then change **Province**). Each new invoice uses the province on file and the rate in force on the day it's issued. Invoices already issued don't change.

**Where you'll see it.**

| Where | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Change Subscription Plan** dialog (select **Change Plan**) | A paid plan's **Price** row reads "\[price]/\[cycle] plus applicable tax". Plan-change emails quote the new amount the same way. |
| **Immediate charge** panel, when a plan change charges you today | **Plan price**, one row per tax with its rate (for example "Ontario Harmonized Sales Tax (13%)"), then **Total**. **Upgrade & Pay \[amount]** charges that total. |
| **Billing history** | A **Tax** column between **Period** and **Amount**, shown whenever any of your invoices carries tax. |
| **Payment Received - Uplifter Subscription** email to your club's admins | A line such as "Invoice total $32.77 includes Ontario Harmonized Sales Tax (HST 13%): $3.77." |

**What gets taxed.** Every subscription charge: plan renewals, upgrade charges, the monthly platform fee on paid transactions (on plans that carry one) and Ask Hero usage overage. A referral credit month that covers a monthly renewal covers that invoice's tax too.
