GST - Goods and Services Tax (Canada)

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a 6% tax on the supply of most goods and services in Canada. Consumers pay the GST on all taxable goods and services (minus zero-rated and exempt goods and services); businesses charge GST on all taxable goods and services.

There are some exceptions: provincial and territorial governments, Native Americans, and “small suppliers” do not pay the GST. (A small supplier is a sole proprietor, partnership or corporation whose total taxable revenues before expenses are $30,000 or less in the last four consecutive calendar quarters; or nonprofits with total taxable revenues of $50,000 or less in the last four consecutive calendar quarters.)
