TIPS FOR SHOPPING PRIME DAY DEALS
Make sure you have an active Prime membership. Consider what you need around the house. Stock up on items like discounted batteries, school supplies, bulbs, and baby items. Think about gifts. Top beauty, toy, and tech brands will be discounted. Think Dyson, Shark, Breville, Ninja, and LEGO. Add items to your cart ahead of time and track prices. Then, look at the related items to see if other similar items are discounted deeper. Amazon brands will likely have the best deals. Count on Alexa, Kindle, and Amazon Basics to deliver some serious deals. Check other colors/sizes of items. Different options bring different discounts. Check return policies. Before you excitedly click purchase, check if and when you can return your goods … especially your splurges. We also love Amazon's callouts of 'frequently returned' items.

CRA wants a law passed before issuing digital services tax refunds
Social Sharing Companies that paid the now-defunct digital services tax will have to wait for Ottawa to pass new legislation before they can get their refund, the Canada Revenue Agency has confirmed. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced late Sunday that Canada was dropping the tax on global tech giants in a bid to restart trade negotiations with the United States. The first payment was due Monday and would have collectively cost American companies like Amazon, Google, Airbnb, Meta and Uber about $2 billion US. The tax was a three per cent levy on revenue collected by the largest digital firms from their Canadian users. The first payment was retroactive to 2022. A CRA spokesperson said the agency collected some revenue from the digital services tax (DST) before Ottawa's reversal but didn't cite an amount. The spokesperson said Parliament will need to pass legislation formally revoking the tax in order for taxpayers to get their money back. Members of Parliament are currently on break and are scheduled to return on Sept. 15. The CRA waived the requirement for taxpayers to file a DST return ahead of the June 30 deadline and will not ask for any related payments in the meantime. Carney said Canada and the U.S. resumed trade talks Monday morning and are still aiming for a deal by the July 21 deadline he set with U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Alberta last month. After Carney announced the end of the DST, the White House claimed that Canada had "caved" under pressure from Trump. The prime minister said Monday that the move was "part of a bigger negotiation" and "something that we expected, in the broader sense, that would be part of a final deal." Watch | Scrapping DST part of negotiations, Carney says: Scrapping digital service tax is part of U.S. negotiations, Carney says 2 days ago Duration 2:53 Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday that scrapping the digital services tax was one part of the bigger trade negotiation with the U.S., though the White House said Carney 'caved' when trade talks were cancelled. Talks have since resumed. Carney said the decision would provide businesses with some certainty. "It doesn't make sense to collect tax from people and then remit them back," he said on Monday. Some businesses reported the last-minute change caused confusion among companies that were in the process of paying the tax. Tariq Nasir, a partner at EY Canada's indirect tax practise, said Monday that some companies have been given instructions to pay the tax, but the payments were not going through at the CRA. He said companies that have made the payments were wondering how to account for them in their quarterly statements, due in the next month.
