FAQs
What is the difference between GST, HST, and PST?
GST is the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax charged across Canada. Some provinces combine it with their provincial tax into a single HST (Harmonized Sales Tax). Others charge a separate provincial PST (or QST in Quebec) on top of the GST.
Which province has the lowest sales tax?
Alberta and the three territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon) charge only the 5% GST — the lowest in Canada, with no provincial sales tax.
How do I calculate sales tax in Canada?
Multiply the pre-tax price by your province’s combined rate and add it. This calculator does it for every province and can also work backwards from a tax-inclusive total.
