Prince Edward Island (PEI) joined the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) system on April 1, 2013, with an initial rate of 13%. The rate was increased to the current 15% on October 1, 2016.
The 15% rate is broken down into:
The tax is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of the province.
Prince Edward Island offers point-of-sale rebates for the 10% provincial share of the HST on books, children's clothing, footwear, and heating oil.
This helps PEI households manage heating costs during winter and makes essential items for children more affordable.
PEI businesses reconcile receipts by dividing the tax-inclusive total by 1.15 to identify the pre-tax base. The difference is recorded as HST and claimed as an ITC on Form GST34-2.
PEI was the last province to join the HST system, on April 1, 2013, entering at 13% and raising the rate to 15% on October 1, 2016. Before harmonization it ran the most awkward sales tax arithmetic in the country — a 10% provincial tax calculated on the GST-inclusive price, taxing a tax.
Today one CRA registration covers the whole 15%, with full input tax credit recovery and point-of-sale rebates on books, children's clothing and footwear, diapers, and residential heating oil.
Potatoes and seafood dominate the Island economy and both are largely zero-rated when exported: no HST is charged on the sale, while the producer still recovers HST paid on equipment, fuel, packaging, and services.
The practical consequence is that many PEI producers file for refunds rather than remittances, which makes accurate input-side record keeping the difference between recovering the tax and absorbing it. Basic groceries, prescription drugs, and medical devices are zero-rated domestically; residential rent, health care, and educational services are exempt.
