GST is 5% across Canada. HST provinces combine GST and the provincial part. Some items (basic groceries, prescription drugs) are zero-rated or exempt.
How to calculate GST/HST
To add tax: multiply the price by the rate. A $100 item in Ontario is $100 × 13% = $13 of HST, so the total is $113.
To take tax out of a total: divide by 1 plus the rate. $113 ÷ 1.13 = $100 before tax, so the tax inside it is $13. Don't just take 13% of $113, which gives $14.69 and is wrong.
GST, HST, PST and QST in plain words
- GST (5%) is the federal tax charged everywhere in Canada.
- HST combines GST and the provincial tax in Ontario (13%), Nova Scotia (14%), and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and P.E.I. (15%).
- PST/RST is a separate provincial tax in B.C. (7%), Manitoba (7%) and Saskatchewan (6%).
- QST is Quebec's 9.975% tax, charged on the price before GST.
You must register for GST/HST once your sales pass $30,000 in four quarters in a row. Check details with the CRA.
Questions people ask
Which tax do I charge when I sell to another province?
Generally you charge the rate of the province where the customer receives the goods or service (the place of supply). For example, an Ontario business shipping to Nova Scotia charges 14% HST.
What is the HST rate in Nova Scotia in 2026?
14%. Nova Scotia lowered its HST from 15% to 14% on April 1, 2025.
How do I remove 13% HST from a total?
Divide the total by 1.13. The answer is the price before tax; the difference is the HST.
Is PST charged on GST in Quebec?
No. Since 2013 the QST is calculated on the price before GST, so the combined rate is 14.975%.
