Here is another petition sponsored by BC Conservative MP, Brad Vis
Please sign in show off support for HST/GST exemption for Registered Massage Therapy services

An RMT in British Columbia recently created a new federal petition to gather further support for HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

This petition is sponsored by MP Brad Vis, who has previously championed similar exemption petitions directed towards the previous federal government.

A related petition, recently presented in the House of Commons by Newfoundland MP Jonathan Rowe, has already mandated a government response. Every new petition presented with maximum signatures further amplifies our collective voice and compels the government to act on this crucial issue.

We strongly encourage all RMTs, massage therapy students, and members of the public to sign this petition before it expires on December 25, 2025: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6753

Please sign this petition in support of the Public Members Bill to remove tax from Registered Massage Therapy (Healthcare)

This week, a Private Member's Bill supporting HST exemption for Ontario RMTs was introduced, a direct result of RMTAO advocacy and member efforts this past year, notably at our October 2025 Queen's Park Day.

MPP France Gélinas, the NDP Health Critic, introduced the Massage Therapy Tax Act, 2025. Under this Act, the Minister of Health is mandated to take every necessary measure, including introducing legislation, to bring the tax treatment of massage therapy services provided by Ontario RMTs into alignment with the tax treatment of services provided by other practitioners.

The Bill has already passed its first reading, marking an exciting first step. While additional readings are required for it to proceed, this early success is an important step forward, thanks to our advocacy efforts.

To increase support for the Bill as it goes through the legislative process, MPP Gélinas has created a petition to support the removal of HST from massage therapy services. We encourage you to sign this petition and share it widely with your networks to support the Bill's success.

MPP Gélinas also shared a press release today to increase awareness of and support for this issue. This would be a great resource to share to help spread the word.

This is an important and encouraging step in our efforts towards HST exemption. This was made possible due to the support of members who have continued to bring this issue forward, as well as the culmination of continuous advocacy efforts by the RMTAO.

We will provide you with updates as soon as they become available.

Registered Massage Therapy is considered healthcare in Canada, and qualifies for HST/GST Tax exemption, which would bring it in aligment with all other healthcare.

People often associated work-related injuries with more physically demanding jobs, but working at a computer all day, especially in uncomfortable positions or postures, can lead to increased risk of musculoskeletal pain. Massage therapy can help office workers find pain relief.
