* The online payment fee is added on top of the customer's total — it does not come out of your earnings.
HST — your responsibility as the seller
What's Local does not collect or remit HST on your behalf. If your total annual revenue exceeds $30,000 you must register for an HST number with the CRA and charge HST on taxable goods.
How it flows
When you're HST-registered, 13% is added to taxable items at checkout. Customers pay it on top of the item price — it passes through to you via Stripe or is collected directly.
Commission on HST?
Never. The 10% (card) or 8% (pay direct) commission applies to the items subtotal only — not on any HST or delivery fees collected.
Under $30,000/year?
You're a CRA small supplier — no HST registration required. Simply leave your account as not HST-registered and no tax is added at checkout.
Taxable at 13% HST
Prepared foods, baked goods, snacks, beverages, crafts, candles, soap, and most non-food artisan products.
Zero-rated (0% HST)
Basic groceries — raw fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, eggs, honey, and other unprocessed food for human consumption.
Per order, no hidden charges.
