We earn a commission if you buy through some links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It never affects the order. How we make money.

What to know in Canada
| Currency | CAD (prices below converted at USD 1 = CAD 1.426, refreshed daily) |
|---|---|
| GST/HST | 5% GST (Alberta and the territories); 13% HST (Ontario); 14% HST (Nova Scotia); 15% HST (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI); 12% GST + PST (British Columbia, Manitoba); 11% GST + PST (Saskatchewan); 14.975% GST + QST (Quebec) |
| E-invoicing | There is no national e-invoicing mandate; businesses can invoice in any format that shows the required GST/HST details. |
| Data protection | PIPEDA (federal), plus provincial laws such as Quebec's Law 25 |
- Combined rates add the 5% GST to the provincial sales tax; PST and QST are separate taxes with their own registration.
- Many tools price in USD; check whether a CAD price is offered at checkout.
