One of these taxes is sales tax, also known in many places as VAT or Value Added Tax. In Canada, we don\u2019t call it VAT though. In Canada, our federal sales tax is called GST (Goods and Services Tax). Our provincial sales taxes are known as PST (Provincial Sales Tax) or QST (Quebec Sales Tax). Some people also refer to these as consumption taxes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VAT Numbers<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Canada, VAT numbers are also known as business numbers or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/publications\/rc4022\/general-information-gst-hst-registrants.html\">GST<\/a> numbers in Canada. This number is assigned to all businesses in Canada by Canada\u2019s tax authorities, the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency). Basically how it works is this number is broken into 3 different sections: your business number, program type and reference number for the program account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here is an example: 123456789AB1234<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Business number:<\/strong> This is the first 9 digits of your GST number, also known as your tx ID number.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Program type:<\/strong> The two letters after your 9 digit business number are the program identifiers.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Reference Number:<\/strong> The last four digits are the reference number for the program type.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is important because this number distinguishes you from other businesses. This is why it is given to you when you first register. Depending on which program account you use, the last 6 digits will change but the first 9 will always stay the same. They are individual to you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The four major program accounts are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Corporate Income Tax<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Import\/Export Charges<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Payroll Deductions<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Goods and Services Tax (GST)\/ Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The only province that doesn\u2019t include GST\/HST in your business number is Quebec. This has to be applied for separately through Revenue Quebec.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Goods Do You Pay VAT On?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Canada, items that are considered intangible personal property are taxable goods.

This federal tax is charged at 5% and is charged on most goods and services hence the name, Goods and Services Tax.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Along with some of the goods and services that are omitted from the tax, there are also certain people and organizations that are tax exempt. An example of this is under section 87 on the Indian Act.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Canada, most people who are indigenous do not have to pay GST when they purchase goods and services on a reserve. In order to qualify as tax exempt, you just need to show your status card to prove you are tax exempt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Definition of HST in Canada and How it Works<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some provinces in Canada charge HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) on goods and services instead of just GST. HST is GST and PST (Provincial Sales Tax) combined. This is a little confusing though, because not all provinces and territories charge tax this way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Canada, there are some provinces that don\u2019t charge PST. This is why they have a separate GST rate of 5%. These provinces\/territories are Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alberta. Other provinces like BC, Manitoba, Quebec, Saskatchewan charge GST and PST separately. The rest of the provinces and territories in Canada charge HST.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While whether you pay GST and PST separately or HST doesn\u2019t make a difference in the percentage of tax you pay, it can make a difference to business owners. It will change how records are kept and taxes are charged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provincial VAT Rates<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Canada, every province has a different Value Added Tax rate (GST\/HST).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div align=\"left\">\r\n<table class=\"two-column-table-color\" style=\"text-align: center; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Province<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>GST\/HST<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Rate<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Alberta<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>British Columbia<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Manitoba<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>North West Territories<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Nunavut<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Quebec<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Saskatchewan<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Yukon<\/td>\r\n<td>GST<\/td>\r\n<td>5%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Ontario<\/td>\r\n<td>HST<\/td>\r\n<td>13%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>New Brunswick<\/td>\r\n<td>HST<\/td>\r\n<td>15%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Newfoundland and Labrador<\/td>\r\n<td>HST<\/td>\r\n<td>15%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Nova Scotia<\/td>\r\n<td>HST<\/td>\r\n<td>15%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Prince Edward Island<\/td>\r\n<td>HST<\/td>\r\n<td>15%<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is important to keep in mind that these sales tax rates aren\u2019t charged on groceries. Basic groceries are charged at a rate of 0% in Canada. These are things like milk, bread and vegetables. Other goods are charged based on the province based on where the product is supplied too, not where it is purchased.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example: If you are selling an item from your business in Alberta and it is being delivered in Nova Scotia, you would then charge 15% instead of 5%.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Input Tax Credit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a GST number\/ business number, you may have heard of Input Tax Credits (ITCs). This is a credit that you can apply for in order to get back any GST\/HST that was either paid or payable on certain goods. This would be property or services that were acquired or brought into Canada or certain provinces. These goods must be used for consumption or supply while running your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In order to be approved for the input tax credit, you have to supply tax invoices to Canada\u2019s tax authority, also known as the CRA. They need these invoices to prove that you are eligible for the credit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to taxes, there are plenty that we pay in Canada.
