Are taxes, VAT, GST, HST, or sales taxes included where applicable?

Taxes may apply depending on the receiving entity, billing jurisdiction, participant location, payment method, tax law, and Stripe billing configuration. 

Because subscriptions are processed and administered by GCRI Canada, Canadian tax treatment may be relevant where applicable, including GST, HST, or other taxes if required. For participants outside Canada, other tax treatment may depend on jurisdiction, payment structure, and applicable rules. 

Where taxes apply, they may be included in the displayed price or added during checkout or invoicing, depending on the billing configuration. 

Participants should review the Stripe checkout page, invoice, or receipt carefully to understand whether taxes are included, added separately, or not applicable. 

GRA, GCRI Canada, and the Nexus Consortium should not provide individualized tax advice. Participants, employers, sponsors, and institutions should consult their own tax or accounting advisers for questions about deductibility, reimbursement, input tax credits, VAT treatment, GST or HST treatment, business expense treatment, or internal accounting. 

The subscription is not a donation and should not be treated as a charitable gift unless a separate legal pathway expressly provides otherwise.
