- Quebec announced that certain food and hygiene products will be zero-rated for QST starting July 15.
- The zero-rating covers specific items like some frozen desserts, baked goods, puddings, prepared fruit/vegetable products, seasoned seeds and nuts, and cereal/trail mix products.
- QST will still apply to these foods when sold at places where most food and beverage sales are taxable, such as most restaurants.
- The measure does not apply to foods sold through vending machines or as part of catering services.
