Apple Canada Trade-In (Class Action)
The Statement of Claim alleges that Apple Canada Inc. unlawfully overcharged its consumers in sales tax through the Apple Trade-In Program, thereby misleading consumers and breaching Its duties under consumer protection statutes.
The Apple Trade-In program allows consumers to trade in their current devices, such as iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or iMac laptop, in exchange for credit toward a new purchase. It is alleged that Apple Canada should not have collected sales tax on the trade-in credit, and instead should have collected sales tax on the remaining value of the transaction after deducting the credit for the new device. By collecting sales tax on the full value of the new purchase without crediting sales tax on the trade-in device, it is alleged that Apple has overcharged consumers in sales tax.
If you purchased a new device through Apple’s Trade-In program and were not credited sales tax on the trade-in device, you may have been overcharged in sales tax and may be eligible to participate as a class member in the proposed class action.
