e-3329 (Taxation)
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Minister of Finance
- The purchase of medical devices is a necessity, not a luxury;
- To help Canadians get the medical support they need, the Department of Finance makes medical devices tax exempt if they meet the eligibility criteria, namely, they are specifically designed to help a person with a chronic illness, physical disability or physical impairment and have no other possible use;
- The department has released GST/HST memorandum 4.2, which includes the comprehensive list of zero rated medical devices;
- Many medical devices are still taxed even though they meet the criteria set out in GST/HST memorandum 4.2; and
- There is no process to include new medical devices on the list of zero-rated medical devices even if they meet the criteria of GST/HST memorandum 4.2;
