Prince Edward Island Sales Tax Guide: GST, PST & HST Rules (2026)
A statutory tax compliance guide covering federal 5% GST, provincial sales tax rates, the CRA $30,000 small supplier threshold, and Input Tax Credits (ITCs).
In Canada, sales taxes operate under three regimes: Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) which combines federal and provincial tax into a single rate (e.g. Ontario at 13%, Atlantic provinces at 15%); separate GST + PST/QST (e.g. British Columbia 5% GST + 7% PST, Quebec 5% GST + 9.975% QST); and federal GST only in Alberta and the northern territories at 5%. Registered businesses collect tax on taxable sales and recover tax paid on business inputs via Input Tax Credits (ITCs).
The CRA $30,000 CAD Small Supplier Threshold
Under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations, sole proprietors and small corporations are classified as small suppliers if worldwide gross taxable revenues remain at or below $30,000 CAD over any single calendar quarter or four consecutive calendar quarters.
Small suppliers are exempt from mandatory GST/HST registration and are not permitted to charge sales tax to clients. However, registering voluntarily allows small businesses to claim ITCs and recover all GST/HST paid on operating equipment, software subscriptions, and commercial office lease rent.
