How sales taxes work in Canada

In Canada, you may encounter three types of sales taxes such as Goods and Services Tax (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and Provincial sales tax (PST).

GST and HST requirements

To charge and collect GST/HST, you must have a valid Business Number (BN) issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You can apply for a BN through the CRA's website.

As for GST/HST registration, it applies for businesses with annual revenues exceeding a certain threshold. The threshold varies depending on the type of business and the province. Once registered, you will be assigned a GST/HST account number.

GST/HST is generally applicable to most goods and services supplied in Canada, with some exemptions and special rules for certain items. Ensure that you correctly identify the taxable supplies in your invoices.

Also, it's important to keep copies of all invoices issued and received, as they are required for record-keeping and tax reporting purposes.

Charge and collect tax

As for collecting tax information, you are responsible to hold the GST/HST in trust until you send it to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This includes the collectible tax that you charged and have not collected yet.

The rate of tax to charge depends on the place of supply. This is where you make your sale, lease, or other supply.

A zero-rated supply has a 0% GST/HST rate throughout all of Canada. For example, basic groceries are taxable at the rate of zero (0% GST/HST) in every province and territory. The rate for other taxable supplies depends on the province or territory. The current rates are:

  • 5% (GST) in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon

  • 13% (HST) in Ontario

  • 15% (HST) in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island
