GST vs HST vs PST vs QST
In Canada, the taxes you charge depend strictly on your province and the province of your client (place of supply rules).
- GST (Goods and Services Tax): A federal tax of 5% applied across Canada.
- PST (Provincial Sales Tax) & QST (Quebec Sales Tax): Provincial taxes that are charged alongside the GST (e.g. 7% PST in BC, 9.975% QST in QC).
- HST (Harmonized Sales Tax): A single, blended tax rate combining the federal GST and provincial portions, collected in ON (13%), NS (14%), NB, NL, and PE (15%).
Ensuring your invoices reflect these differences is vital to avoid client disputes and remain compliant with the Canada Revenue Agency. For a clean, compliant billing workflow, try our Invoice Generator or sign up for a free Lunio account.
