@pmxqj I actually just recently bought 2 @$40 vvouchers from the Canmore Canadian Tire, I was not even charged GST (error on CT side) and topped up my BC tel number.  It was an instant 12% discount, an extra 5% than what I was expecting.  Lol

Your son will be charged ON tax for any purchases he makes with the voucher (ie. plan costs, add-ons), but you will be charged AB tax when buying the voucher.


@tabi159w That is incorrect. Once the voucher gets added to your funds you do not pay any additional taxes when purchasing add-ons or plan renewals.

You already paid the tax @pmxqj when you add the voucher, it doesnt add the tax amount, just the value of the voucher after tax. So you are okay. If you know your son's cell number. You can add the voucher to his phone using  1 855 4public and his 10 digit phone number. Stay safe

As pointed out by @geopublic , you won't be charged any taxes on Add-ons , just taxes on the original voucher purchase which will depend on which province you purchased it in.

@pmxqj  Yes, you can. Vouchers are not location dependent. Just give him the PIN number and he can use it.

Yes. You can buy a voucher from anywhere and online and anyone can use it for their account with PM.

@pmxqj you cannot split the voucher. you can only use one voucher per account. if you are asking if you can send it to your son then yes
