About the Amazon Tax Refunds Request for First Nation Customers

 

Request a Tax Refund

First Nations customers may qualify for GST/HST and/or PST tax refunds on their qualifying purchases. Tax refund requests can only be made up to 180 days after the order was placed. If the order was placed more than 180 days prior, Amazon will not be able to issue a refund. 

You can claim this on your taxes or apply for a refund to the Provincial or Federal Government with the appropriate agencies. 

The following information is provided on how to request a tax refund.

1. Allow for your shipment to complete before submitting a request. Tax refunds cannot be issued until your order has shipped. 
2. Contact Customer Service by emailing tax-exempt@amazon.ca with a detailed request. Include any supporting tax exemption documentation for the specific tax exemption you are requesting. 

• Your order number (17 digits in this format: XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX). 

• Reason for request 

• Email address 

• Supporting documentation of your exempt status (if applicable)

Rebate claimed after the sale

If you have missed the 180 day qualification for Amazon Tax Refund, you always have this option available to claim the tax that you paid:

If an eligible customer does not get the rebate at the point-of-sale or at the time of importation, the customer may claim a rebate from the Ontario Ministry of Finance using the Application for Rebate of the Ontario Portion of the HST for First Nations form.

You may save your receipts (up to 100 per claim) and submit one application, instead of filing multiple applications for small rebate amounts.

If you would like to enquire about the status of your claim, please email us at commodity.tax@ontario.ca.
