PEI HST: 15% Sales Tax Rate

Prince Edward Island uses a 15% HST on a standard taxable supply. It is a combined HST rate. CRA’s rate guidance is the current federal source for the GST/HST rate and explains that the rate depends on the place and type of supply.

The standard rate

Component	Rate
HST	15%

For a $100 taxable sale at the standard rate, calculate tax from the pre-tax amount. A rate is not a tax-classification decision: zero-rated and exempt supplies, and special rules, can produce a different result.

What to show on an invoice

For a taxable GST/HST sale, tell the customer whether tax is included or added. Show the applicable rate and either the tax amount or a clear tax-included statement. If HST applies, CRA says to show the total HST rate rather than separate federal and provincial components. CRA’s invoice guidance has the rule.

Sales across provincial borders

A business address alone does not set the rate. The place-of-supply rules and the kind of supply matter. CRA’s examples show that delivery or other supply facts can change the province whose rate applies. Check place-of-supply guidance before applying a rate to a cross-province sale.

Local rules to check

Do not use a provincial rate table to decide whether every product or service is taxable. CRA distinguishes taxable, zero-rated, and exempt supplies.

Government of Prince Edward Island: HST is the provincial source to check for a transaction-specific rule.
