Information about taxes

Based on various e-commerce regulations that are in effect in EU as well as trade agreements between EU and non-EU countries, the following taxes might be applied to your order.

Except for sales in United States, all amCharts sales are conducted from EU (Germany), which makes us subject to following all EU tax-related legislations. US purchases are conducted via US-incorporated business entity.

Please refer to section that is relevant to your specific country below.

If in doubt, please contact amCharts.

Canada

The tax rates below are relevant for all Canadian consumers. A consumer is essentially defined as someone who is not registered for GST/HST. Accordingly, business customers providing sufficient proof of tax exemption are out of scope and will not be charged.

Canada’s sales tax regime has two levels:

  • A federal level with a 5% goods and services tax (GST) on digital services provided by non-residents.
  • A provincial level with different rates of provincial sales tax (PST) or Quebec sales tax (QST).

Furthermore, a harmonized sales tax (HST), including a provincial and a federal portion, applies in some provinces.

We have implemented a complex structure of provincial, federal, and harmonized sales tax to ensure compliance in Canada. To give you a clear picture of the tax framework, we have compiled an overview of the different types of individual sales tax, broken down by province/territory. The effective tax rate can be found in the second column Cumulative Rate.
