  Dear WordPress Administrators, Staff and Community,

  Thank you for reading this question. According to the below Government of Canada website regarding GST/HST,

  https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/20-6/tutoring-equivalent-services.html

  Under General, paragraph states,

  “Supplies of many educational services, as well as certain specific supplies of related property and services, are exempt from the GST/HST. These exemptions are listed in Part III of Schedule V.”

  Currently, our WordPress bill pays the 13% GST/HST. Therefore, under the guideline regarding education-service published by the Canadian government, we are looking for the GST/HST exemption on our monthly service bills.

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  I do not see any upgrades under your @kinder12qoeg WordPress.com account when I check on our end. You can confirm by visiting this page: https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/

  Is it possible you are referring to a purchase you made under a different login? Or are you referring to an upcoming purchase you are planning on making for a new site? Thanks for the additional info!

  Dear WordPress Expert,

  Thank you for your reply. Our WordPress is actually under @kinder12.ca and the below is our WordPress dashboard screenshot,

  We need to have our WordPress monthly payment’s 13% HST/GST tax waved per Service Canada’s education-related service regulation.

  Thank you!

  Kevin

  Hey there, can you confirm what monthly purchases you have through us? I haven’t been able to find anything yet but if you’ll let us know the name of the upgrade, we can confirm. Is there any chance you’re paying another service provider for something like monthly hosting for a free WordPress installation?

  Or, if you have paid subscriptions related to WooCommerce, please reach out directly to their support here.

  Dear WordPress Experts,

  My apologies, it turns out our company’s website service provider is a U.S.-based company named Scala Hosting, see screenshot below link,

  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AM2K_5eh6rwaMuCEBpBlSTlysIyxsM5E/view?usp=sharing

  So my next step is to contact them and find out if our website is eligible for 13% GST/HST tax exemption?

  My apologies again because the former admin left the position a week ago and I need to figure everything out myself.

  Thank you!

  Kevin

  Dear WordPress Experts,

  I have contacted the company hosting our WordPress and I got my answer that they don’t charge us GST/HST.

  This question is resolved.

  Thank you!
