How it works. Five provinces charge a single HST. Alberta and the territories charge 5% GST only. BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec charge GST plus their own provincial sales tax, and both parts are itemized below. Reverse mode divides the total by one-plus-the-rate to recover the pre-tax price.

How sales tax works across Canada

Every sale in Canada starts with the 5% federal GST. Five provinces — Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and PEI — blend it with their provincial portion into a single HST charged at 13% to 15%. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba charge a separate provincial sales tax on top of GST, and Quebec charges QST at 9.975%. Alberta and the three territories charge nothing beyond the 5% GST.

Which rate applies is a place-of-supply question: broadly, you charge the rate of the province where the customer takes delivery, not where your business sits. That is why an Ontario seller shipping to Halifax charges Nova Scotia's rate.

What this calculator does not cover

Zero-rated supplies (basic groceries, exports, prescription drugs) carry 0% tax, and exempt supplies (most health care, residential rent, many financial services) carry none at all — this tool assumes a fully taxable sale. It also does not decide place-of-supply for you. If you are unsure what to charge, or whether you should be registered at all, see GST/HST and sales tax services or try the registration threshold checker.

Frequently asked questions

Multiply the pre-tax price by the combined rate for the buyer’s province: 13% in Ontario means $100 becomes $113. This calculator itemizes the federal and provincial parts for the GST-plus-PST provinces.
Divide the tax-included total by one plus the rate. In Ontario, $113 divided by 1.13 gives the $100 pre-tax price; the difference is the $13 tax. Switch this calculator to reverse mode to do it for any province.
It is 14% as of April 1, 2025, down from 15%. The other HST provinces stayed put: Ontario at 13%, and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI at 15%.
Generally the province where the goods are delivered or the service’s customer is located — the place-of-supply rules — not where your business is based. Selling from Toronto to a Calgary customer normally means charging 5% GST, not 13% HST.
Only once you are registered, which becomes mandatory when your worldwide taxable supplies pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. Below that you are a small supplier and registration is optional.

What Canadians search about this

Answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.

Sales tax in British Columbia totals 12% for 2026: the 5% federal GST plus 7% provincial sales tax. BC is not harmonised, so the two run separately, with GST registered and filed with the CRA and PST with the province. A $100 taxable sale carries $5 GST and $7 PST. PST has its own exemptions, including most food for human consumption, so some sales take the 5% GST only.
The federal goods and services tax is 5% in 2026, and has been since it dropped from 6% to 5% on 1 January 2008. You pay the 5% on its own in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. In British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec it sits alongside a separate provincial tax, and in the five participating provinces it is folded into the HST rate.
Yes. Cash tips are taxable even though nothing is withheld and no slip is issued for them. Report them on your T1 as other employment income for the year received. Keep a daily log of the amounts, because during a review the CRA can estimate unreported tips from point-of-sale records and industry averages, then assess tax plus interest on the result. Controlled tips your employer collects and hands out are taxed through payroll instead.
Yes. EI benefits are taxable income and Service Canada withholds income tax from each payment. The amount held back is often less than you end up owing, because the withholding looks only at the benefit and ignores employment income you earned earlier in the same year. That is why many people who spent part of a year on EI owe a balance. You get a T4E slip and report the total on your return.
Restaurant meals are taxable. What appears on the bill depends on the province of supply: harmonised provinces charge one combined HST rate, while elsewhere federal GST applies and the provincial sales tax is added or, in some provinces, not applied to prepared food. Alcohol can attract extra provincial charges. Tips left voluntarily are not taxed. Operators should confirm how their own province treats prepared meals before setting menu prices and configuring the point-of-sale system.
Generally no. Exports of goods and most services supplied to a non-resident are zero-rated, so no tax is charged, you still report the sale, and you still claim input tax credits on your costs. Exceptions apply, including services relating to real property in Canada and supplies to a non-resident who is registered here. Within Canada the place-of-supply rules follow the customer, so an Ontario business billing a Quebec customer charges 5% GST rather than 13% HST, using 2026 rates.
