Adding Tax

Most CALPs don't charge tax on their programs, but some are big enough that they need to charge GST on services.

As of March 1st, 2026, the CALP database automatically calculates 5% tax on all items marked taxable. Taxable status is decided in the Learning Opportunity. 

To add tax to a new learning opportunity, follow the steps in Setting Up a Learning Opportunity
