Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)

Starting July 1, 2010, the provincial sales taxes in Ontario and British Columbia will be replaced by a value-added tax structure and combined with the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) to create a single, federally administered Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).

The HST will be applied on most supplies of goods, property and services made in those provinces at a blended rate of 13% in Ontario and 12% in British Columbia. With some exceptions, the HST will apply to the same base of goods, property and services as the GST.
