By province
GST, HST, PST and QST
- GST — the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax, charged everywhere in Canada.
- HST — the Harmonized Sales Tax that replaces GST plus provincial tax in Ontario (13%), Nova Scotia (14%), New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI (15%).
- PST / RST — separate provincial sales taxes in British Columbia (7%), Manitoba (7%) and Saskatchewan (6%).
- QST — Quebec Sales Tax, 9.975%, added alongside GST for a combined 14.975%.
Removing tax from a total
Divide by 1 plus the rate. A $113 receipt in Ontario was $113 ÷ 1.13 = $100 before tax. Don’t subtract 13% of the total — that gives $98.31, which is wrong.
