Ontario: 13% HST (13% combined)
Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt from GST/HST, standard rates shown here may not apply to every purchase. Verify with the CRA or your provincial revenue agency. Not tax advice.
How much is HST in Ontario?
HST in Ontario is 13%, so a $100 purchase costs $113.00 with $13.00 in tax. Rates differ across Canada - Alberta is lowest at 5%, and New Brunswick highest at 15%.
What is the difference between GST, PST and HST?
GST is the 5% federal goods and services tax charged everywhere in Canada. Some provinces add a separate provincial sales tax on top, billed separately. Others merged the two into a single Harmonised Sales Tax, so HST is the federal 5% and the provincial portion combined into one rate.
How do you calculate the price before tax?
To find a pre-tax price from a tax-inclusive total, divide the total by 1 plus the tax rate. At Ontario's 13% HST, a $113.00 total came from $100.00 before tax. Subtracting 13% from the total instead gives the wrong answer.
