It depends on the province where you live:
GST is first applied ,then PST.
Provincial Sales Tax
To calculate Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Provincial Sales Tax (PST), you first determine the taxable amount of the purchase. Multiply this amount by the applicable GST rate (usually 5% in Canada) and the PST rate (which varies by province) to find the tax amounts. Add the GST and PST amounts together to get the total sales tax. Finally, add the total sales tax to the original purchase price to find the total amount payable.
No, computers only tell time in binaryEDIT: HAHAHA, I believe the question is referring to PST and GST sales tax, considering it's under the topic "Buying Computers". Yes Computers have GST and HST sales tax. But no PST.
it is other taxes payable like hormonised sales tax. It is not Income Tax or corporate Tax.
pst (provincial sales tax)--7% gst (goods & services tax [canada wide])--5%
HST stands for Harmonised Sales Tax and is the combination of GST (General Sales Tax) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax)
Yes, Manitoba charges Provincial Sales Tax (PST) on freight services. The tax applies to the transportation of goods when the freight charges are part of the total sale price of the goods. However, if the freight is separately stated and the goods being transported are exempt from PST, the freight charges may also be exempt. Always check the latest regulations or consult with a tax professional for specific situations.
There is no PST, per se. Ontario has harmonized its provincial sales tax with the federal GST (Goods and Services Tax). What Ontario now has is the provincial component of the Harmonized Sales Tax and that portion sits at 8% for a combined total of 13% HST (5% federal component + 8% provincial component).
Every Province in Canada taxes differently. Some have PST which is a Provincial Sales Tax. Not all Provinces have a PST but all Provinces charge GST which is a Goods and Services Tax. You would have to be more specific as to where and what you are buying.
Though your right in the sense that there is only PST charged in Alberta, where there needs to be some clarification is that it is not due to HST that we are paying more tax on vehicles in BC. This is a myth. In fact, (and especially in new vehicle purchases) both PST and GST were charged on vehicle purchases anyways.
In Winnipeg, when purchasing a used car, the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) is applied to the purchase price or the fair market value of the vehicle, whichever is higher. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is also applicable at a rate of 5%. Both taxes are calculated separately and added together for the total tax amount due. It's important to note that the PST may have specific exemptions or reductions based on the vehicle's age or type.
