Canadian sales-tax registration thresholds

When a business has to register to collect sales tax, by jurisdiction. Each figure below is the one Incleus measures your own sales against, with the source it was taken from and the date somebody last checked it.

Why only these — the rest of Canada

Four provinces run a sales tax of their own, and only those can have a provincial registration threshold. Everywhere else is either folded into the federal registration or has no provincial sales tax to register for.

Their own provincial tax

British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec each administer their own tax and each set their own threshold. All four have pages above — each one read from that province's own Act or bulletin rather than from a summary of it.

HST — the federal registration covers it

Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island charge HST. There is no separate provincial registration to hold: the GST/HST rule above is the one that applies, and once you are registered federally you collect at that province's rate. A page for Ontario would have nothing on it.

No provincial sales tax

Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon levy no provincial sales tax. Only the federal GST applies, so there is no provincial threshold to cross.

This describes which registrations exist, not what any of them charge — rates change, and a rate printed here would be wrong before anybody noticed. The CRA's list of participating provinces.
