New Brunswick charges a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 15%. The rate was increased from 13% to 15% on July 1, 2016.
The rate consists of:
The Canada Revenue Agency administers New Brunswick's HST, making reporting and remitting straightforward for registered business operators.
New Brunswick provides point-of-sale rebates on the 10% provincial share for children's clothing, footwear, diapers, and books.
Additionally, New Brunswick provides a provincial HST credit for low-to-moderate-income families to offset the impact of the consumption tax.
To extract the 15% HST from any invoice total:
Businesses use this formula to reconcile expense ledgers and declare ITCs on federal tax filings.
New Brunswick charges 15% HST, the top tier in Canada alongside Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, after raising the rate from 13% on July 1, 2016. The tax is administered entirely by the CRA, so a business registers once, files one return, and claims one set of input tax credits.
Point-of-sale rebates return the provincial portion on books, children's clothing and footwear, and diapers, so those items effectively carry 5%. Basic groceries, prescription drugs, and medical devices are zero-rated; residential rent, health care, educational services, and child care are exempt.
Since April 2025 the Atlantic provinces no longer share a rate. New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island are at 15%, while Nova Scotia sits at 14%. Because GST/HST follows the place of supply, a Moncton business shipping to Halifax charges Nova Scotia's 14% — not its own 15%.
For a regional business with customers in all four provinces, that means the rate is a per-order determination rather than a company-wide setting, and a billing system that treats "Atlantic Canada" as one tax region will now be wrong on a share of its invoices.
