In Saskatchewan, two separate taxes are added to the price of most goods and services: the federal GST at 5% and the Saskatchewan Provincial Sales Tax (PST) at 6%, for a total of 11%. Unlike provinces with harmonized tax systems, the PST is not combined with the GST; it is administered separately by the province. The calculator above applies both of these 2026 rates. Understanding them is essential for accurate invoicing, as the PST does not function like VAT when it comes to reclaiming taxes paid on your purchases.
The principle is simple: each tax is applied as a percentage of the subtotal before tax. In Saskatchewan, both the GST (5%) and the PST (6%) are calculated on this same subtotal and then added to the final price, for a combined rate of 11%. The calculator remembers these exact rates and applies them automatically, preventing rounding errors in your invoice.
A taxable sale (the majority of cases) is charged at the full rate, which is 11% in Saskatchewan. A zero-rated sale is charged 0% VAT, but the business can usually reclaim the VAT paid on related purchases. An exempt sale incurs no tax, with no possibility of recovery on related inputs. The exact categories differ between the federal GST and Saskatchewan GST, which includes its own exemptions.

The calculator applies the 2026 rates in effect in Saskatchewan: the federal GST (5%) and the Saskatchewan Provincial Sales Tax (6%), for a combined rate of 11%. Both taxes are calculated on the subtotal before tax. Certain categories of goods may be taxed differently, zero-rated, or exempt, and the Provincial Sales Tax has its own exemptions.
Enter your total amount including tax and specify that taxes are already included: the tool calculates the subtotal excluding tax by dividing by the combined rate of 11%, then separately isolates the VAT (5%) and the PST (6%). Our calculator performs these calculations automatically, without the risk of rounding errors.
Once registered, the company charges VAT to its customers, files periodic returns, and remits the net taxes. The VAT is then paid to the tax authorities. Canada The PST, however, is administered separately and is submitted to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance, with its own registration. An accountant can confirm your obligations based on your business activity.
VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable sales exceed €30,000 for four consecutive quarters (below this threshold, the business is considered a small supplier). Saskatchewan's PST registration follows its own provincial rules and is done separately: as soon as a business sells taxable goods or services in the province, it must generally register to collect PST.
The VAT paid on your business expenses is recovered through input tax credits (ITCs): you deduct the VAT paid from the VAT collected, then remit the difference. Saskatchewan's PST, on the other hand, is not a value-added tax: unlike the GST, PST paid on purchases is generally not recoverable and becomes a cost to the business.
