Sales Tax & Tariffs

OldWhitby is a micro business and our annual revenues are way below the threshold at which we are required to collect and remit sales tax to the Canadian government. As a result sales within Canada have no sales tax.

Sales to the US and other parts of the world may get taxed on entry to the receiving country (or state) depending on local laws, regulations or practices but in most cases no tax will need to be paid.

Shipments to the US will incur tariffs and brokerage fees which will be collected at purchase. Brokerage fees will be about Can$2.50 per shipment and the tariff will be a percentage of the sale price depending on the country of origin.

International shipments may also incur tariffs from the receiving country at the time of entry. I have no idea what these are and i would appreciate your input if you are receiving an item which is tariffed (or not). In the meantime you will have to consult your local authorities.

We’ve sold more than 2,000 items on Ebay and Etsy over  several years but this website is a new venture. 

The transition is a largely manual process and somethings aren’t landing properly, so if you see anything that seems ‘off’ or wrong, please let us know at email@oldwhitby.ca.

There are about 200 items here now and we’re adding about 100 more every month so keep coming back. In the meantime if there is something in particular you are looking for send us an email – we may have it. 

Also please sign up for our newsletter. When we’re a bit better organized we’ll be sending out regular messages about new items, specials, etc
