| Oct 3, 2016 at 10:44 | comment | added | rkagerer | Two years later and they still haven't fixed this bug. Here is a receipt from March 2016 for my Prime membership renewal, and it doesn't show the GST amount (even though it's obvious from the subtotal and total that there was GST charged) and doesn't indicate their GST/HST registration number. Amazon is a huge company and it's surprising they are not in compliance with Canadian tax law. Have seen similar problems on paperwork from Google and other large tech companies - they just don't seem to care. | |

| Feb 10, 2014 at 21:51 | comment | added | fastfinge | Yes, they did ship physical items. But I assumed the e-mail invoice and shipping invoice would be the same, so never checked them that closely. Instead, I made PDFs of the invoice e-mails, and got rid of the paper copy, only to discover at year end that the electronic invoices were missing tax information. But the number you provided is exactly what I was looking for; if you post it as an answer, I'll accept it. I verified that the number you typed is correct via the GST Registry. | |
| Feb 10, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | fastfinge | After spending over 3 hours on the phone today, I was able to get hold of Tom in Washington who said that he sent my request on to Amazon's tax department, and that they would send me an email with Amazon's GST number. I also called the CRA directly, and verified that printing the GST number on all invoices is a legal requirement on the part of Amazon Canada, so that other businesses can claim our ITCs. I'm amazed that this has never come up before; has no other Canadian small business ever used Amazon Canada as a supplier? After going through all this nonsense, I I never will again. | |
