Starting Sept. 1 2024, GTA Imaging will issue their own invoices. The invoice will carry the GTA Imaging name and will include GST/HST, which will be automatically charged by the lab. Read below to learn more!
Who does this apply to?
Currently, this will only affect photographers using GTA Imaging who are self-collecting their payments. Other Canadian labs will be added within 3-4 months, and more labs will be added to this article on a rolling basis.
Do the store production costs include GST/HST?
In your Store Pricing, the production costs from GTA Imaging do not include GST/HST. This is because the type of sales tax is based on the delivery address and can only be determined when the client is placing the order.
Where can I see the cost and GST/HST charged on orders?
You can easily see the production cost and GST/HST that was charged, both in the specific order under Sales & Automations > Orders, or directly in the production cost invoices in your Billing History.
If the order has labs from multiple locations with different tax requirements, you’ll see these as separate charges from each lab.
Should I adjust my pricing?
If you are not charging GST/HST from your clients, you may need to adjust your prices to accommodate this change. In addition, you can customize your Tax Template in your Store Settings.
