Canada is at least four tax systems wearing one flag. Every rate and rule below — current as of August 2026, dated on every page — and the software that applies them automatically.
The rules that decide everything
GST and HST, explained
How Canada's GST and HST work: who must register, what to charge, input tax credits, and how the remittance actually computes.
Filing the GST/HST return without drama

What the small-supplier threshold means, when registration becomes mandatory, and why registering early is often the right call.
