Interactive Canadian Sales Tax Map
In Canada, the sales tax is commonly referred to as the "Goods and Services Tax" (GST) at the federal level and the "Provincial Sales Tax" (PST) or "Harmonized Sales Tax" (HST) at the provincial level. The tax structure varies depending on the province or territory you're in:
Goods and Services Tax (GST):
- The GST is a federal tax imposed on most goods and services throughout Canada.
- As of September 2021, the GST rate is 5% across the entire country.
Provincial Sales Tax (PST):
- Some provinces have a separate Provincial Sales Tax (PST) in addition to the federal GST.
- PST is applied to specific goods and services in those provinces.
- The rates and rules for PST can vary from one province to another.
Harmonized Sales Tax (HST):
- Certain provinces have chosen to harmonize their provincial sales tax with the federal GST, creating a single tax called the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
- The HST combines the federal GST and the provincial portion of the sales tax into a single tax rate.
- The HST rate and rules differ among provinces that have implemented it.
