We hope to see the Ontario Government implement this here in Ontario.

The move paves the way to eliminate provincial sales tax from snacks, soft drinks and prepared meals at convenience stores, as of July 1.

Attention Ontario Convenience Store Operators

Important reminder regarding upcoming LCBO ordering changes:

👉 March 23 is the last day to place orders in GMS (with option for delayed delivery into the week of March 30)
👉 March 24–31: Temporary ordering measures will be in place

👉 April 1: New ordering and claims platform goes live

Store owners are encouraged to plan ahead and stock up before March 23 to avoid disruption.

If you have questions, reach out to LCBO.

Let’s stay prepared and keep our shelves stocked through the transition.
