Top up

[Nebula]

Hello,

I just changed my credit card on file and resigned up for auto pay.

My question is, can i make a one time payment (say $50) just to check if everything is in order?

Will I get taxed on the $50 that I put in?

Thanks,

Wendy

@Acekiller the tax is always on the payment or top up.  So yes if you go buy a $50 voucher, you will be charged $50 + tax and $50 will be loaded into your available funds once you redeem the voucher.  If you go into self-serve and do a manual top-up for $50, $50 will be added to your available funds and $50+tax will be charged to your credit card.

I thought if you load $50, it will just be $50 and not $50 + tax? 

I know when you buy vouchers tax is added on to whatever you are buying though.

@Nebula mostly agree with @will13am, but if you want a little peace of mind for your next renewal, just do a really small top up like $5.  That way you're not spending much money before you need to (like $50).  

As noted, yes you can top up any amount any time you like--PM is always happy to take your money.  😉  The amount gets credited to the "available funds" amount that shows in your self-serve account, and will be automatically used on your next renewal, or you can use it toward an add-on should you need to purchase any.  Taxes are added to the *payment*, always at PM.  So if you make a $100 payment, $100 will be credited to your PM account, and $100 + <your provincial tax rate> will be charged to your credit card.  When you buy things like add-ons or plan renewals, the cost is not subject to tax and is deducted from your available balance (which is automatically topped up if you need more to cover your renewal cost, provided you have auto-pay enabled of course).

Personally, I would not worry about having to do a top up as a check.  The credit card addition involves a check already.

Yes taxes will be added.

You can top up what ever you want it will just go to available funds.
