The federal GST rate is 5% nationwide; total sales tax ranges from 5% (Alberta) to 15% (Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland with HST).
The federal GST rate is 5% across all of Canada. However, total sales tax varies by province: 5% in Alberta (GST only), 13% HST in Ontario, 15% HST in Nova Scotia/PEI/Newfoundland, 12% in BC (5% GST + 7% PST), and 14.975% in Quebec (5% GST + 9.975% QST).
GST is the 5% federal tax. PST is provincial (6-10%). HST combines both into a single 13-15% tax in ON, NB, NS, PEI, and NL.
GST (5%) is the federal Goods and Services Tax applied nationwide. PST is a provincial sales tax that varies by province (6-10%). HST combines GST and PST into one harmonized tax (13-15%) in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Newfoundland. HST provinces send a single remittance.
Alberta and the territories (YT, NT, NU) have only 5% GST with no provincial sales tax — the lowest in Canada.
Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut charge only the 5% federal GST with no provincial sales tax. Saskatchewan has 6% PST (11% total). BC has 7% PST (12% total). Quebec has the highest combined rate at 14.975%.
Divide the tax-inclusive total by (1 + tax rate). Example: $113 ÷ 1.13 = $100 pre-tax amount.
To find the pre-tax amount from a tax-inclusive total, divide by (1 + total tax rate). Example: $113 total at 13% HST divided by 1.13 = $100 before tax. Our calculator's 'Remove Tax' mode does this automatically for any province.
