Billing country

Tax rates and details differ by country. Review the applicable country section below for the specifics relevant to your account.

Australia

Australia requires non-resident entities selling digital services to consumers located in Australia to collect and remit a GST of 10%. Non-residents sellers are required to apply GST to B2C transactions. If you have an active Australian Business Number (ABN) and are GST registered, you can add your 11-digit ABN to your billing account details and GST will be excluded from your invoices (reverse charge may apply).

Canada

GST

Non-resident entities like Lucid selling digital services to customers located in Canada are required to collect a 5% GST on all B2C transactions. GST is generally not chargeable to Canadian business customers with an active GST registration number for B2B supply.

Lucid charges GST to B2C customers with a billing address located in Canada. If you are GST registered, you can add your registration ID to your billing account details and GST will be excluded from your next invoice (reverse charge may apply).

HST

Some Canadian provinces assess HST which is a sales tax that includes both the 5% federal GST combined with an additional provincial sales tax. HST is only applicable in participating provinces in Canada including:

New Brunswick – 15%
Newfoundland and Labrador – 15%
Nova Scotia – 15%
Ontario – 13%
Prince Edward – 15%

Lucid charges HST to B2C customers with a billing address located in the above Canada provinces. If you are GST and HST registered, you can add your registration ID to your billing account details and GST and HST will be excluded from your next invoice (reverse charge may apply).

PST or QST

PST (QST in Quebec) is a provincial sales tax that is separate and in addition to GST and HST. PST is a consumption tax that is not recoverable and applies to both B2C and B2B transactions in the following provinces:

British Columbia – 7%
Saskatchewan – 6%

Quebec’s QST applies to B2C customers and is assessed at a rate of 9.975%.

For customers with tax exempt status for PST, submit your exemption certificate to Lucid Software.

Customer ABN, GST, and VAT numbers

Lucid Software requires B2B customers to provide a valid VAT or GST number to avoid unnecessary tax charges in countries where Lucid is required to charge VAT or GST exclusively on B2C transactions. If this number is provided to Lucid prior to the issuance of your next invoice, no VAT or GST will be charged on that invoice or on subsequent invoices. However, if a VAT or GST number is not provided at the time of an invoice’s issuance, VAT or GST will be applied and will continue to be charged on future invoices until a valid number is submitted.

Note: This option is not available in all countries. Refer to the section above for your specific country for additional details.
