New rules on tipping, price labelling take effect across Quebec
May 7, 2025
New rules on tipping and on price displays at grocery retailers are in effect as of today across Quebec.Tips must now be calculated on the price before taxes, and tipping options must be “neutral and uniform,” so that a merchant can’t suggest a percentage that a client should give.Also, grocery retailers will now have to include more information on displays, such as the price per unit of measure, and the price for customers who don’t belong to a store’s rewards program.
