How Consumption Tax Works in Canada
Canada's Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) combines the federal GST (5%) with provincial sales tax in participating provinces. In Ontario, the combined HST rate is 13%.
Basic groceries, prescription drugs, and medical devices are zero-rated (0%). Some provinces like Alberta have no provincial sales tax, paying only the 5% federal GST.
Businesses registered for GST/HST can claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) to recover GST/HST paid on business expenses.
