Refunds & Rebates
- A refund is for tax that has been overpaid or incorrectly paid, and is returned to the purchaser under a taxing statute or regulation. A refund is also for persons who have remitted to the Minister amounts in excess of the tax collectable or payable.
- A rebate is for tax properly paid and is subsequently returned to the purchaser under a rebate provision.
