Sales tax on a purchase anywhere in Canada for 2026 — add tax to a price, or work backwards from a tax-included total, in all thirteen provinces and territories. Rates are the CRA's official table, including Nova Scotia's HST cut to 14% on 1 April 2025 that many calculators still show as 15%. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works: HST provinces charge one combined tax. In BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan the provincial tax sits alongside the 5% GST; in Quebec, QST (9.975%) applies to the price before tax — there has been no tax-on-tax in Quebec since 2013. Place-of-supply rules decide which province's rate applies to a sale; this calculator applies the province you pick.
Rates (CRA GST/HST calculator and rates table, checked 4 November 2026): GST 5% in every province and territory; HST 13% Ontario, 14% Nova Scotia (from 1 April 2025), 15% New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island; PST 7% British Columbia, 7% Manitoba (RST), 6% Saskatchewan; QST 9.975% Quebec. Zero-rated (basic groceries, prescription drugs) and exempt supplies are outside this calculator's scope.

The combined rate is what a shopper actually pays on a taxable purchase of C$100: the tax runs from C$5 in Alberta and the territories to C$15 in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia's 14% is the newest figure in the table — cut from 15% on 1 April 2025 — and the one most often printed wrong elsewhere.
New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, at 15% HST. The lowest is 5% — GST only — in Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
No. Since 2013 the QST applies to the price before GST — the two taxes are parallel, not stacked. On C$100 in Quebec: C$5 GST plus C$9.98 QST (9.975%), a combined 14.975%.
Place-of-supply rules: for many goods and most services, the rate follows where the supply is made or the customer's address — which is why an Ontario seller shipping to BC charges BC's taxes. This calculator applies whichever province you select.
Basic groceries are zero-rated (0%) everywhere in Canada, and prescription drugs too; restaurant meals, by contrast, are fully taxable. The calculator assumes a regularly taxable purchase.
