Saskatchewan Sales Tax: 5% GST + 6% PST

Saskatchewan utilizes a dual-tax system consisting of:

  • GST: 5.0% (Federal portion).
  • PST: 6.0% (Provincial Sales Tax).
  • Combined Rate: 11.0%.

PST in Saskatchewan is administered by the Ministry of Finance. The PST rate was increased from 5% to 6% on March 23, 2017, to balance the provincial budget.

Saskatchewan PST Rules for Remote E-Commerce Sellers

Saskatchewan has aggressive rules for out-of-province businesses. Any e-commerce retailer selling tangible goods or software to Saskatchewan residents must register and collect the 6% PST.

Unlike the federal GST, which has a $30,000 CAD registration threshold, Saskatchewan PST registration is required for out-of-province sellers from their very first sale into the province.

Exemptions and Reverse Calculations in Saskatchewan

PST exemptions apply to basic groceries, prescription medications, agricultural equipment, and books. To reverse calculate Saskatchewan sales tax on a standard taxable receipt, divide the total paid by 1.11 to find the pre-tax base price. To instantly extract the taxes, use our reverse Saskatchewan GST/PST calculator.

Saskatchewan's Zero-Dollar PST Registration Rule

Saskatchewan operates the strictest registration regime in Canada: PST registration is required from the first taxable sale, with no small-supplier cushion at all. It binds out-of-province vendors selling into Saskatchewan exactly as it binds local businesses, and it sits alongside the ordinary federal GST threshold of $30,000 — so a small seller can be below the GST threshold and still legally required to register and collect Saskatchewan PST.

This is the single most common compliance surprise for businesses expanding into the province, because every neighbouring jurisdiction gives some revenue headroom before registration bites.

What Saskatchewan Taxes at 11%

GST at 5% plus PST at 6% gives 11% on most goods — and, unusually, on restaurant meals and snack foods, which Saskatchewan brought into the PST base in 2017. That is a direct contrast with British Columbia next door, where a restaurant bill carries GST alone.

Exempt from PST: basic groceries, prescription drugs, medical devices, children's clothing under $150, printed books, manufacturing and production equipment, farm machinery and inputs, and residential energy. Saskatchewan also charges PST on used vehicles, where several provinces treat private sales differently.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions users ask.

What is the sales tax rate in Saskatchewan for 2026?
Saskatchewan charges a total combined sales tax rate of 11%. This consists of 5% Federal GST and 6% Provincial Sales Tax (PST).
How do I reverse calculate sales tax in Saskatchewan?
Select the 'Remove tax' (reverse) option in the calculator, input the total tax-inclusive paid amount, and the tool will automatically extract the pre-tax price and the tax component. Alternatively, divide the total by 1.1100 manually.
Do I need to register for sales tax in Saskatchewan?
Under CRA rules, businesses with gross taxable revenues exceeding $30,000 CAD over four consecutive calendar quarters must register for GST/HST. Additionally, Saskatchewan requires separate provincial PST registration with the provincial finance department.

No. Saskatchewan PST is a retail consumption tax. Businesses cannot claim it back via ITCs. Any PST paid on commercial expenses must be recorded as a business expense.
Do remote online sellers need to collect Saskatchewan PST?
Yes. Out-of-province e-commerce businesses selling tangible goods, software, or digital services into Saskatchewan must register and collect the 6% PST, with no minimum revenue threshold.
