Visits and Treatments Now GST/HST Exempt!
We are pleased to inform you that services provided by Naturopathic Doctors are now GST/HST exempt.
Our national association, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), has been working closely with the Government of Canada to demonstrate how the front-line services provided by Naturopathic Doctors contribute significantly to the betterment of our patients’ health and well-being. They needed to know how the tax exemption would help you. The evidence provided by the CAND tied in nicely with the government’s belief that essential health care services should not be taxed. With this, the government announced the GST/HST exemption on services provided by Naturopathic Doctors in the February 11th federal budget.
For our patients, this means that you will no longer be charged GST/HST on your visits and treatments providing greater accessibility to our services. We are so happy that the value of our services has been recognized by the federal government, especially as it directly benefits you.
