In Saskatchewan, two separate taxes are added to the price of most goods and services: the federal GST at 5% and Saskatchewan’s provincial sales tax (PST) at 6%, for a total of 11%. Unlike provinces with a harmonized tax system, the PST is not combined with the GST; it is administered separately by the province. The calculator above applies these two 2026 rates. Understanding them thoroughly is essential for accurate billing, as the PST does not work like the GST when it comes to claiming back taxes paid on your purchases.
The principle is simple: each tax is applied as a percentage of the pre-tax subtotal. In Saskatchewan, the GST (5%) and PST (6%) are both calculated based on this same subtotal and then added to the final price, resulting in a combined rate of 11%. The calculator uses these exact rates and applies them automatically, which helps prevent rounding errors in your billing.
A taxable sale (the majority of cases) is charged at the full rate, which is 11% in Saskatchewan. A zero-rated sale is charged at 0% for GST, but the business can generally recover the GST paid on related purchases. An exempt sale is subject to no tax, with no possibility of recovering the GST paid on related inputs. The exact categories differ between the federal GST and Saskatchewan’s PST, which provides for its own exemptions.

The calculator applies the 2026 tax rates in effect in Saskatchewan: the federal GST (5%) and Saskatchewan’s provincial sales tax (PST) (6%), for a combined rate of 11%. Both taxes are calculated based on the subtotal before taxes. Certain categories of goods may be taxed differently, zero-rated, or exempt from tax, and the PST has its own exemptions.
Enter your total amount (including tax) and specify that tax is already included: the tool calculates the subtotal excluding tax by dividing by the combined rate of 11%, then breaks down the GST (5%) and PST (6%) separately. Our calculator performs these calculations automatically, eliminating the risk of rounding errors.
Once registered, the business charges GST and PST to its customers, files periodic returns, and remits the net taxes. The GST is remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency; the PST, on the other hand, is administered separately and remitted to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance, requiring a separate registration. An accountant can confirm your obligations based on your business activities.
Registration for GST becomes mandatory once taxable sales exceed $30,000 over four consecutive quarters (below this threshold, the business is considered a small supplier). Registration for the Saskatchewan PST follows its own provincial rules and is done separately: as soon as a business sells taxable goods or services in the province, it generally must register to collect the PST.
The GST paid on your business expenses can be recovered through ITCs: you subtract the GST paid from the GST collected, then remit the difference. Saskatchewan PST, on the other hand, is not a value-added tax: unlike the GST, the PST paid on purchases generally cannot be reclaimed and becomes a cost to the business.
