Why You Pay No Sales Tax on Mobility Equipment in Canada

Mobility Equipment Is Tax Free in Canada

Eligible mobility devices specially designed for people with a disability are zero-rated for GST/HST in Canada. That means GST/HST is charged at 0% on the qualifying sale.

What Qualifies

The zero rating covers the mobility devices people rely on every day, including:

• Manual and electric wheelchairs
• Mobility scooters
• Walkers and rollators
• Other devices specially designed for a person with a disability

Because the rule is about the medical purpose of the device, the core mobility products in our catalogue are covered.

No Paperwork, Applied Automatically

Care Made applies the eligible GST/HST treatment at checkout. Review the final total, including any selected service, accessory or shipping charge.

A Couple of Things to Keep in Mind

The zero rating is meant for mobility devices, so some unrelated accessories or general use items can be treated differently. Rules can also have edge cases, and they can change over time. If you ever need a receipt or product documentation for your own records, just ask and our team is glad to provide it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay GST or HST on a wheelchair in Canada?

Generally no. Wheelchairs, both manual and electric, are zero rated for GST and HST when they are specially designed for a person with a disability, so federal sales tax does not apply.

Do mobility scooters and walkers qualify too?

Yes. Mobility scooters, walkers, and rollators designed for people with a disability are zero rated for GST and HST in the same way.

Do I need to apply for the tax exemption?

No. There is nothing to apply for. Eligible mobility equipment is sold without GST or HST, so the savings are already reflected in the price you see.
