| GST | 5% | CRA |
- Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so only the 5% GST applies.
Questions people ask
- Do I charge Alberta's rate if my business is in another province?
- It depends on the place of supply, not where you are. Goods generally follow where they are delivered, and most services follow the customer's address. An Ontario business selling a taxable service to a customer in Alberta generally charges 5% GST.
- Do I have to charge GST/HST at all?
- Not while you are a small supplier: under $30,000 of taxable sales in the last four calendar quarters. Once you pass that, you must register and start charging. You can also register earlier by choice.
