Saskatchewan Taxes (Quick Answer)
In Saskatchewan, most businesses deal with two separate taxes:
- 5% GST (federal)
- 6% PST (provincial)
👉 The key difference: PST does not apply to everything.
Why Saskatchewan Is Different
Unlike HST provinces, Saskatchewan keeps provincial tax separate — and applies it selectively.
This means:
- Some sales require both GST and PST
- Some only require GST
Tax Breakdown
| Tax | Rate |
|---|---|
| GST | 5% |
| PST | 6% |
When Do You Charge PST?
PST usually applies to:
- Physical goods
- Certain services
👉 Many services are exempt — always verify your category.
Example Invoice
| Subtotal | $100 |
| GST (5%) | $5 |
| PST (6%) | $6 |
| Total | $111 |
Common Mistakes
- Charging PST on exempt services
- Combining GST and PST into one line
- Using the wrong province rules

Saskatchewan’s system requires a bit more attention — but once you know when PST applies, it becomes manageable.
