PST Calculator
GST plus provincial tax, on the right base.
Rates change with budgets and local ballot measures, and the rate that applies depends on the delivery address and product category. Treat these as planning figures, not as a filing.

12% combined in British Columbia
British Columbia charges GST and PST separately, on the same pre-tax base rather than stacked. Two taxes means two registrations and two returns, unlike the harmonised provinces.
How the PST Calculator works
In non-harmonised provinces you charge two separate taxes. Both apply to the pre-tax price — the provincial tax is not charged on the GST. Quebec's QST was compounded until 2013, and calculators that never updated still produce totals that are too high.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is PST charged on top of GST?
No. Both taxes apply to the same pre-tax selling price. Quebec compounded QST on the GST-inclusive amount until 2013, but that ended — today no province stacks them.
What are the PST rates?
British Columbia 7%, Saskatchewan 6%, Manitoba 7%, and Quebec's QST 9.975%. Alberta and the territories charge only the 5% federal GST.
Can I claim back PST?
Generally not. Unlike GST and HST, provincial sales tax in most PST provinces is not recoverable through input tax credits — it is a real cost on your business purchases. Quebec's QST is the exception and works like a credit system.
Do I need to register in each province?
If you sell into a PST province above its registration threshold, yes — separately from your federal GST registration. Each province administers its own tax with its own rules on what is taxable.
