In Canada, GST (Goods and Services Tax, a value added consumption tax) is added to most postal products, including stamps. The exception: No GST is charged on packages being shipped outside of Canada that require over $5 postage.
Yes, Canada Post is a "Crown Corporation", which is a company owned by the federal government, as opposed to a federal department, or federal ministry. The price of the stamp is the cost of shipping, and the GST is the tax revenue from the service provided.
No, Provincial sales tax (PST or HST) should not be added to the service provided by a federal crown corporation.

∙ 11y agoThere is no tax on a postage stamp, which is already a tax. But stores are able to sell stamps for a surcharge. For example I know a store that sells stamps at 35% over face value. It isn't illegal.
