What does GST/HST/PST stand for on my activity statements?

GST/HST/PST refer to the sales taxes charged in Canada:

  • GST: General Sales Tax
  • HST: Harmonized Sales Tax
  • QST: Quebec Provincial Sales Tax

The sales tax consists of the Canadian GST and provincial sales tax (PST, or QST for Quebec). The provincial tax rate depends on the legal residence of the account. Some provinces use a so called harmonized sales tax where one rate is charged that includes the Canadian and provincial tax.

It is possible to create a custom activity statement that includes the optional section GST/HST/PST Details showing information related to sales taxes charged in Canada.
