Understanding Canadian Sales Tax
Canada does not have a single national sales tax rate. Each province and territory has its own combination of federal and provincial taxes. The federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 5% everywhere, but how provinces layer their own tax on top varies considerably — from 0% additional tax in Alberta to 10% additional in Atlantic provinces.
Provinces that have merged their provincial tax with the federal GST use the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) — a single percentage charged at point of sale. Ontario's HST is 13%, while New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and PEI charge 15%. Other provinces like BC, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan charge GST and PST separately. Quebec is unique: it charges GST plus a separate Quebec Sales Tax (QST), calculated on the GST-inclusive price.
For businesses, knowing which rate to charge is a compliance requirement. In Canada, sales tax is generally destination-based — you charge the rate of the province where your customer receives the goods or services, not where your business is located.
