Saskatchewan Sales Tax
Saskatchewan does not follow a HST system but rather charges two seperate taxes GST + PST for a combined sales tax rate of 11%. Saskatchewan has the second lowest sales tax of all the provinces in Canada. The only province with a lower sales tax is Alberta, in addition to the three territories which have a lower sales tax.
| Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| Federal GST | 5% |
| Provincial PST | 6% |
| Total Sales Tax | 11% |
Saskatchewan charges a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) of 6% with the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% bringing the total sales tax to 11% in Saskatchewan. Since this is not a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) when collecting and remitting sales tax, the two portions will need to be remitted to their respective agencies.
Saskatchewan PST & GST Example
Let’s take a look at an example purchase in Saskatchewan to see how the PST & GST rates impact the total purchase price that will be paid on most goods and services. For this example we will use the cost of a $2,300 repair service.
For this calculation we will break down the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and the Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) to arrive at the total tax payable amount.
- Federal GST (5%): $2,300 x 5% = $115.00
- Provincial PST (6%): $2,300 x 9% = $138.00
- Total Tax (11%): $115.00 + $138.00 = $253.00
The total tax payable on this $2,300 repair would be $253, with $138 from the PST of 6% and $115 from the 5% GST. This would bring the total payable amount to $2,553 for the repair with Saskatchewan sales tax of 11% applied.
