do you need to pay taxes?..

[Fuzzy Bunny]

Hi I have a question, do you have to pay taxes even if you end up don’t need to pay for anything after you given the coupons?
for example I have 3 coupons of the pro crest rinse and 3 coupons of the free OB glide floss with the purchase of the pro crest rinse, and 2 coupons of $4 off charmins products and 3 coupons of the $1 off coupons,
I went to one of the wal mart today and they charge me taxes even though I told them on the coupon it said the manufacture will cover the taxes of the face value.
they said the manufacture will only cover $4 of the coupons so I still need to pay taxes..
can any of you lady please tell me if I am wrong? sorry my English are not that good I just need a second opinion.. and if they are wrong what can I do to get back the money? because the person I spoke with she said she is the manager of that wal mart and she also let me speak with a guy seem to have more authority (I hope I used the right word) then her, he also tell me the same I have to pay for the taxes..

btw : what I got was 3 travel size pro crest rinse, 3 free ob glide floss, and 11 charmin to go toilet seat covers.



before I had try using 2 coupons / $1ea of the ob manual toothbrush and I purchased at No frills where they had it on sale for $1 ea and I was able to get 2 for free with out paying the taxes..


I would appreciate if you can help me with this..



thanks.

You have to pay taxes on $ off coupons. Even some FPCs depending on wording.

I thought it was on the CRA website (and somewhere someone had made a pdf of this and clarified it) that FPCs you pay tax on the POST coupon value - aka if the coupon makes it free, you pay tax on zero (which is obviously nothing). The $ off coupons you're definitely right but I thought the CRA said FPCs you don't....

This gets rehashed so many times You do not ever pay taxes on FPC's. You are correct Skittles160.

About FPC: depends on the wording of the coupon, if the manufacturer states that customer is responsible for the tax portion then you pay, if it's included in coupon face value then you don't have to pay.
