Newfoundland and Labrador levies a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 15%.
The rate consists of:
The province increased the provincial portion from 8% to 10% on July 1, 2016, matching the rates of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, point-of-sale rebates of the 10% provincial portion are available on books, children's clothing, footwear, and baby products.
Furthermore, the province operates special tax refund programs for purchases made by municipalities, charities, and qualifying non-profit organizations.
To isolate the tax from receipt totals, divide by 1.15. The result is the pre-tax cost of the goods or services, and the remaining amount is the HST. Use this figure for tracking business expenses and securing Input Tax Credits.
The province charges 15% HST, raised from 13% on July 1, 2016, administered by the CRA as a single harmonized tax with full input tax credit recovery for registered businesses.
Newfoundland and Labrador also levies a separate 15% retail sales tax on property and casualty insurance premiums. It is not HST, it is not recoverable as an input tax credit, and because the percentage is identical to the HST rate it is easy to misbook. Check the tax description on an insurance document rather than the number beside it.
Exports — including seafood and oil shipped out of the country — are zero-rated, meaning no HST is charged while the exporter still recovers the tax on its own inputs. For the province's export-heavy fishery and offshore energy sectors, this produces a structural input tax credit surplus rather than a payment position.
Domestically, basic groceries, prescription drugs, and medical devices are zero-rated; residential rent, health care, and educational services are exempt. Point-of-sale rebates cover printed books, children's clothing and footwear, baby diapers, and residential heating fuel — the last of which matters more here than in most provinces.
