Ultimately, the effectiveness of sales tax implementation depends on balancing revenue generation with economic equity and efficiency.

Tax amounts can be determined by both provincial and federal governments, depending on the type of tax. Federal governments typically set rates for national taxes, such as income tax and goods and services tax (GST), while provincial governments set rates for provincial taxes, like sales tax and income tax.
