How sales tax works in Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador uses the 15% harmonized sales tax (HST): the 5% federal GST plus a 10% provincial part, charged as one tax.

HST is calculated on the price before tax. Multiply by 1.15 to add it, or divide a total by 1.15 to remove it.

How to calculate HST in Newfoundland and Labrador

  1. Step 1

    Add HST to a price

    Multiply the price before tax by 1.15. For example, $100 × 1.15 = $115.00.

  2. Step 2
