🔆Please help massage therapy become tax free, it takes less than 5 seconds , everything is automated and can save you an extra 15% being added to your visit
🔹Your health care visits should never be taxed. Infact they aren’t unless it’s for massage in which we all know benefits not only the body but also helps manage your stress levels therefore is important for your mental health as well
When I became an RMT 19 years ago , this had already been in the works. It’s been long overdue and has been sitting in legislation long enough.
Regulation and Status:
🔹Regulated Health Profession: Massage therapy is officially regulated as a health profession under provincial legislation in British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. In these provinces, RMTs must register with a provincial College, adhere to stric standards of practice, and meet educational requirements.
🔹Self-Referral / Primary Contact: In provinces where the profession is regulated patients do not need a doctor's referral to see an RMT. Because they act as a first point of contact for musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions, industry groups like the Canadian Massage Therapist Association define them as primary health care providers within their scope of practice.
✅Enter your postal code and a letter will be sent to your local representative.
Physiotherapy, chiropractic, and psychotherapy are all exempt from GST/HST. Massage therapy — the same regulated health care, often in the same clinic — is still taxed.
