Which sales tax applies when you buy from another province?

For goods shipped to you, the rate of the province where the goods are delivered applies — so ordering online from an Alberta retailer to an address in Saskatchewan still means 11%. Buying in person while travelling means you pay the rate of the province you are standing in, with no rebate on the way home. Businesses registered for GST/HST claim the tax back as input tax credits; consumers cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the sales tax in Saskatchewan?

11% — 5% GST plus 6% PST, for 11% combined. On a $100.00 purchase that is $11.00 of tax, for a total of $111.00.

How do GST and PST combine in Saskatchewan?

They are separate taxes on the same base: 5% federal GST and 6% provincial PST, added to the pre-tax price for 11% in total. They appear as two lines on a receipt, and PST has its own exemption list that differs from the GST's.

What is exempt from sales tax in Saskatchewan?

Basic groceries, prescription drugs, most medical devices and residential rent are zero-rated or exempt from GST/HST across Canada. Restaurant meals, alcohol, and prepared food are taxable. PST keeps its own separate exemption list — in several provinces it spares children's clothing, books or basic groceries that GST already covers, so the two taxes do not always apply to the same items. Used goods sold privately are usually free of GST/HST, though several provinces still levy tax on private used-vehicle sales.

Does Saskatchewan have high sales tax?

Saskatchewan ranks 9 of 13 at 11%. The highest in Canada is 15% (New Brunswick) and the lowest is 5% (Yukon, and the territories, which charge GST only).
