How HST Works in Ontario
Ontario's Harmonized Sales Tax combines the federal GST (5%) and the provincial PST (8%) into a single 13% tax applied at the point of sale.
HST for Business Owners
Once your business exceeds $30,000 in revenue over four consecutive quarters, you must register for HST. You then charge 13% on all taxable supplies and claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) on business purchases.
Filing frequency depends on revenue: most small businesses file quarterly. Missing your HST filing deadline triggers penalties and interest.
HST Exemptions
Not everything is subject to HST. Key exemptions include basic groceries, prescription medications, medical devices, residential rent, most financial services, and childcare.
If your business sells a mix of taxable and exempt items, proper bookkeeping is essential to track them correctly for HST filing.
