INTRODUCTION TO HST & GST RATES
If you operate a business in Canada you need to know the tax rates for each province. Most provinces have their own Goods and Services tax rates (GST). To make things more complicated, many provinces have a Harmonized Tax rate (HST). Some provinces have combined HST and GST. Here is a table of the GST and HST tax rates across Canada.
