At Canada One or two sales taxes are added to the price of most goods and services: the federal sales tax (GST) and, depending on the province, a separate provincial tax (the QST in Quebec, the PST or RST elsewhere) or a single harmonized sales tax (HST). The calculator above applies the 2026 rates of the province you select. Understanding how these taxes work is essential for correctly invoicing and, where applicable, recovering taxes paid on your business purchases.
The principle is the same everywhere: tax is applied as a percentage of the subtotal before tax. When multiple taxes coexist (for example, a federal tax and a state tax), each is calculated on the subtotal before tax and then added to the final price. The calculator uses the exact rate for the selected jurisdiction and applies it automatically, preventing rounding errors in your invoice.
A taxable sale (the majority of cases) is invoiced at the full tax rate of the jurisdiction. A tax-free sale is invoiced at 0%, but the business can generally recover the taxes paid on related purchases. An exempt sale incurs no tax, and the business cannot recover the taxes paid on related inputs. The exact categories (food, health, exports, financial services) vary by country.

The calculator applies the 2026 sales tax rates in effect in the province or territory you select: the federal GST (5%) combined, as applicable, with the QST in Quebec (9.975%), the HST in the harmonized provinces (13% to 15%), or a separate provincial tax (PST or RST). Certain categories of goods may be taxed differently, zero-rated, or exempt.
Enter your total amount including VAT and specify that the tax is already included: the tool retrieves the subtotal excluding VAT by dividing by the combined rate of the chosen jurisdiction, then isolates each tax. When several taxes coexist, it details them separately. Our calculator performs these extractions automatically.
At Canada The obligation to register and collect the tax depends on the province and often on a revenue threshold (for example, $30,000 for GST and HST). Once registered, the business charges the tax to its customers, files periodic returns, and remits the net taxes to Revenu Québec or the CRA. An accountant can confirm your obligations based on your business activity and province.
At Canada VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable revenue exceeds €30,000 for four consecutive quarters (below this threshold, the business is considered a small supplier); the QST (Quebec Sales Tax) follows the same $30,000 rule in Quebec. Below this threshold, businesses generally do not charge the tax, but they also cannot recover the tax paid on their purchases. Voluntary registration remains an option to recover these taxes.
A registered business can deduct the tax it has paid on its business expenses from the tax it has collected on its sales, and then pay the difference to the tax authorities (or receive a refund if it is negative). Canada These are the input tax credits (ITCs) for GST and HST, and the input tax refunds (ITRs) for QST.
