Applying for tax exemptions
Tax exemptions related to the Indian Act
If you are eligible under the Indian Act, you may claim an exemption of the GST/HST and/or PST for goods and services supplied on a reserve.
Eligible residents in Ontario or on the Canadian side of the Akwesasne reserve may also claim an exemption for qualifying goods and services acquired off a reserve. The off-reserve exemption only applies to the Ontario Provincial component of the HST. For example, goods such as mobile phones, HD PVRs, as well as telecommunications services may qualify for the exemption.
Eligible residents in Québec located on the Kahnawake reserve (Mohawk of Kahnawake Nation) may also claim an exemption for qualifying goods and services acquired off the reserve. The off-reserve exemption only applies to QST. For example, goods such as mobile phones, HD PVRs, as well as telecommunications services may qualify for the tax exemption.
Tax exemption for diplomats/consular corps
For diplomatic or consular corps, the GST/HST must be paid on taxable goods/services. However, a rebate can be claimed directly from the government authorities. For Provincial Sales Tax (PST) exemption, please follow the guidelines below.
The following web link will provide you with all of the details for Tax exemption:

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew Bell’s policy regarding backdating previous taxes paid. I understand that future taxes will not be applied once the Tax Exemption request is approved, but Amazon backdates taxes paid up to 6 months worth. I was wondering if Bell did anything similar to this.
