How come Restaurent charge different taxes in canada 7% or 15%? |
i've been to many restaurents around canada and i dont understand it how some restaurants charge only 7% tax GST and some would charge 15% tax the GST and PST/QST can some one tell me why? Every province is different. All provinces have GST. Which applies to everybody in Canada - resident or not (with some exceptions for the First Nations People.) Some provinces combine into one tax called HST. British Columbia 7% Alberta no PST Saskatchewan 7% Manitoba 7% Ontario 8% Qu茅bec 7.5% Newfoundland and Labrador 15% HST Nova Scotia 15% HST New Brunswick 15% HST Prince Edward Island 10% Northwest Territories no PST Nunavut no PST Yukon no PST Source(s): http://www.taxtips.ca/provincial_sales_t... Sounds like some are adding in a gratuity ... tip and not just the tax. Check your bill carefully and if you're not sure about an amount, ask the waiter to explain it. Simply because on goods oneis mandatory and on the other it all depends on the goods. 'PST' is the Provincial Sales Tax that Canadians residing in the province of Ontario must pay on goods. If you are not a Canadian living in Ontario then the PST will not apply to you. 'GST' is the Goods and Services Tax that Canadian customers are required to pay on some goods and most services. GST also applies to goods in addition to the PST (only for Canadians living in Ontario). If you are not a resident of Canada then the GST will not apply to you. |
