+Online Sales: Which Taxes Do You Collect for Each Province?
+As an online retailer accepting and shipping orders across Canada, the list of taxes you should be collecting and remitting on your online sales as of 2010 looks like this:
+  * B.C. - HST
+  * Alberta – GST
+  * Saskatchewan – GST & PST voluntarily (*unless is home province)
+  * Manitoba – GST & PST
+  * Ontario - HST
+  * Quebec – QST
+  * New Brunswick – HST
+  * Nova Scotia – HST
+  * Newfoundland & Labrador – HST
+  * Prince Edward Island – GST & PST voluntarily (*unless is home province)
+  * Northwest Territories – GST
+  * Nunavut – GST
+  * Yukon – GST
+(*In your home province, registration for PST/RST is mandatory if you are selling taxable goods and/or services.)
+This means that you should register as a Provincial Sales Tax Vendor with each of the provinces you will be doing business with and will be expected to collect and remit the sales tax accordingly.
+What can you do to get around all this additional paperwork and bookkeeping related to your online sales? Not much. Some Canadian-based online businesses limit the areas they ship to. An Ontario based business, for instance,
+might only accept orders from and ship to customers in Ontario. Others only sell non-taxable goods and/or services.
+The online sales picture is further complicated by the fact that goods and/or services that may be tax-exempt in one province may be treated differently in another. So take all the information above as a guide only and be sure to check with the Finance/Revenue Ministries of the individual provinces to ascertain whether or not you have to collect and remit provincial tax when you are shipping to customers who reside there.
