What sales taxes apply in Canada?

Every province and territory charges the 5% federal GST. Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island combine it with their provincial tax into a single HST. British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan add a separate provincial sales tax (RST in Manitoba), and Quebec adds the 9.975% QST. Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon charge only the GST.

How do I calculate sales tax in Canada?

Multiply the price by the combined rate for the province where the sale is made. For example, $100.00 in Ontario at 13% HST is $13.00 in tax, for a total of $113.00. Choose a province in the calculator above and enter an amount to do it automatically.

Which province has the highest sales tax?

New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island have the highest combined rate, 15% HST. Quebec is next at 14.975% (5% GST plus 9.975% QST), then Nova Scotia at 14% HST. Alberta and the three territories have the lowest, 5% GST only.

When does a business have to register for GST/HST?

Generally once its taxable sales pass CAD $30,000 in one calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters, the small supplier threshold. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba register businesses for their provincial sales tax separately, and Quebec administers the QST.

How Canadian sales tax works

Canada has three kinds of sales tax. The federal GST is 5% everywhere. Five provinces fold their own tax into it as a single harmonized sales tax (HST), from 13% in Ontario to 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec charge their own tax on top of the GST, and Alberta and the territories charge the GST alone. The rate follows the province where the buyer receives the goods or services.

The calculator multiplies your amount by the province’s combined rate and rounds the tax to the nearest cent. Rates were last checked in September 2026. For worked examples, see how to calculate GST in Canada, and for registration, filing and each province’s rules, the Canada sales tax guide.
