Canada taxes
Canada tax and take-home pay tools
Use the verified 2026 employee take-home engine for all 13 provinces and territories, or continue to the GST/HST and Quebec TPS/TVQ invoice tools.
Take-home results model a baseline employee with default personal amounts. Special credits, deductions and year-to-date payroll cases remain outside scope.
Canada Take-Home Pay 2026

Canada Sales Tax Index 2026
One source-dated table for all provinces and territories.
GST/HST Canada
Add or extract Canada sales tax by province or territory.
TPS/TVQ Quebec
Model Quebec invoice tax with separate TPS and TVQ lines.
Province selector workflow
Choose the right provincial rate model before quoting or invoicing.
Invoice tax workflow
Show subtotal, tax lines, and total clearly on Canadian invoices.
GST/HST vs QST/TPS/TVQ
Know when one tax line is enough and when Quebec needs two.
Quote to invoice workflow
Move from quote subtotal to final taxed invoice without guesswork.
Province-first workflow
Start with the rate model, not the final total.
Canada billing errors often start when province context is missing until the final invoice. This cluster fixes that by treating province selection as the first decision.
Once the province is set, the right display model follows: GST only, HST, GST plus PST, or Quebec TPS plus TVQ.
Invoice and quote workflows
Built for real business documents.
Canadian clients should be able to read the subtotal, tax lines, and final amount due without reconstructing the math themselves.
Quebec remains the clearest special case because TPS and TVQ should usually appear as separate lines on the invoice.
Quebec specific handling
Separate lines win.
- TPS and TVQ should stay visible as separate lines.
- Quote and invoice flows should preserve Quebec context all the way through.
- French Quebec routes can stay targeted without turning the whole site bilingual.

Current scope
This cluster is intentionally limited to Canada sales-tax and invoice workflows.
- Source of truth is the shared ca-tax-2026 dataset.
- These pages support quotes, invoices, province selection, and Quebec two-line tax display.
- Income tax, payroll, and province-specific filing edge cases are outside this sales-tax cluster's scope.
Canadian sales tax: common questions
GST, HST, PST, QST — what is the difference?
GST is the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax charged everywhere. HST is a single harmonized tax that combines the federal and provincial portions in provinces like Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. PST is a separate provincial sales tax added on top of GST in provinces such as British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. QST is Quebec's own provincial tax (TVQ), administered by Revenu Québec alongside the federal GST (TPS).
When do I have to register to collect sales tax?
Most businesses must register for GST/HST once taxable revenue passes the CAD 30,000 small-supplier threshold over four consecutive quarters. Provinces with a separate PST, and Quebec with the QST, have their own registration rules, so check both the federal and provincial requirements.
How should tax appear on a Canadian invoice?
Show the pre-tax subtotal first, then the tax as a clearly labelled line or lines, then the final amount due. In provinces with two taxes — and especially in Quebec — keep GST/TPS and PST/TVQ on separate rows so the client and the accounting trail can see exactly what was charged.
Do these tools give tax advice?
No. They apply the verified 2026 dataset rates to help you plan quotes and invoices. Unusual supplies, exemptions, and filing edge cases still need review against the Canada Revenue Agency or Revenu Québec, or with an accountant.
