The tax rates above are individual tax rates, not combined rates. The federal GST is 5%. It applies across Canada. Five provinces have combined their provincial tax with the GST into a single Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
GST/HST 15%: NB New Brunswick, NL Newfoundland and Labrador, PE Prince Edward Island. 14%: NS Nova Scotia. 13%: ON Ontario. 5%: AB Alberta, BC British Columbia, MB Manitoba, NT Northwest Territories, NU Nunavut, QC Quebec, SK Saskatchewan, YT Yukon.
PST 9.975%: QC Quebec, where the tax is called the QST (Quebec Sales Tax). 7%: BC British Columbia and MB Manitoba. 6%: SK Saskatchewan.
Four provinces have a separate provincial tax. In these provinces, the total tax is the sum of the two tax rates: 14.975% in Quebec, 12% in British Columbia and Manitoba, and 11% in Saskatchewan. Both taxes are calculated on the price before tax, so they are not applied on top of each other. Calculate the taxes one at a time and add the results, because each tax is rounded separately, and using a single combined rate can result in a one-cent difference in the final amount.
Advanced mode: You will see the effect of rounding on the VAT amount to be paid. See how the calculation is done.

Tax calculator needs two values. You can e.g. fill in tax % and price - and get price before tax as result. Price before tax and price are rounded.
You can also choose the tax % by clicking the percentage in the table below.

VAT rounding: the EU, the UK and other European countries
The EU VAT Directive and the Court of Justice of the European Union leave VAT rounding rules to be decided at national level. National rules vary. In the UK, HMRC allows VAT on B2B invoices to be rounded down to the nearest whole penny.
Roundings in VAT calculation: Mathematically impossible prices?
There are a whole range of VAT-inclusive prices that cannot be mathematically arrived at if the tax is calculated from the VAT-free price. One example is 3.99. These prices are also possible, but then the VAT-free price must be interpreted as rounded.
VAT Gap - How much VAT is left uncollected in EU countries?
9.5% of VAT was left uncollected in EU countries. See the list of EU countries and candidate countries.
In Europe there is VAT - in the US sales tax
In Europe, companies belonging to the production chain account for the VAT paid by the consumer to the state in proportion to their value added. The US sales tax, on the other hand, is billed entirely by the company that made the consumer sale. Sales tax is paid to local operators, not to the state.
Many of today's taxes were already in use in Antiquity. Deciding on taxation has moved from autocrats to parliaments and the level of taxation has risen. In earlier times taxes were used to wage wars, today taxes are used to maintain welfare states.
