Time is running out for collectors to take advantage of the federal government’s limited-time Goods and Services Tax (GST) holiday, which comes to an end on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025. This tax exemption, which applies to a select range of products, includes an important benefit for philatelists and numismatists—no GST on books.
For collectors, books are more than just reading material; they serve as essential resources for education, research, and guidance in navigating the world of stamps and coins. Whether you’re an experienced collector or just beginning your journey, reference books provide valuable insight into historical issues, cataloging methods, pricing trends, and authentication techniques.
One of the best ways to take advantage of the GST holiday before it expires is by visiting CoinStampSupplies.com, where collectors can browse a wide range of numismatic and philatelic literature. The online store offers everything from specialized catalogs and price guides to in-depth research volumes and historical accounts of collecting.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for collectors to expand their personal libraries without having to pay GST,” said Mike Walsh from CoinStampSupplies.com. “Books are an invaluable tool for the hobby, and this tax-free period allows collectors to invest in knowledge while saving money.”
With the deadline fast approaching, collectors are encouraged to act now to benefit from the tax exemption. Whether you’re looking for the the newly released US/BNA Stamp Catalog a Charlton guide to Canadian coins, or an in-depth study on world numismatics, now is the time to buy.
Make the most of this opportunity before Feb. 15—expand your collection and your knowledge while enjoying tax-free savings.
