How HST works here

Newfoundland and Labrador is a participating province: the provincial portion is folded into the federal GST to produce one harmonized rate, administered by the CRA. In practice that means one calculation, one tax line on the invoice, and one return.

Adding and reversing

To add tax, multiply the pre-tax price by the rate. To work backwards from a tax-included total, divide by 1 plus the rate. The second calculation is the one people get wrong, because subtracting the rate from the total takes off too much. The tax was calculated on the smaller pre-tax figure.

If you’re new to charging tax

Registration is generally tied to the small-supplier threshold: $30,000 in taxable revenue measured over four consecutive calendar quarters. Registering voluntarily below the threshold is allowed, and it lets you claim input tax credits on business purchases, which can be worth more than the administrative cost if you buy a lot of taxable supplies.

Rate changes

Provincial rates do change. The calculator here always reflects the current rate, and the app updates rates without needing an app-store release.

Common questions

How do I calculate HST in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Multiply the price before tax by 0.15, then add it. A $100 item comes to $115.

How do I reverse HST out of a total?

Divide the total by 1.15. The result is the price before tax and the remainder is the HST.

Is HST one tax line or two on an invoice?

One. The CRA asks that you show the total HST rate rather than splitting the federal and provincial portions.

Do I need to register to charge HST?

Generally once your taxable revenue passes $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. Below that you are a small supplier and registering is optional, though it lets you claim input tax credits.
