Sales Tax in New Brunswick — 2026 Guide

HST System Overview

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in New Brunswick is a value-added tax applied to most goods and services sold or provided in the province. The current rate of 15% comprises the 5% federal GST component and a 10% provincial component. Unlike a sales tax applied only at retail, HST is collected at every stage of the supply chain, with businesses claiming input tax credits (ITCs) to recover the tax they paid on their own purchases. This cascading mechanism ensures that the final consumer ultimately bears the full cost of the tax.

Step-by-Step Compliance Checklist for New Brunswick

1. Assess your registration obligation. If your worldwide taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 (HST), you must register for the HST.
2. Register with the correct authorities. Register for HST with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) via Business Registration Online (BRO).
3. Charge the correct rate. For FSA E8L and all other locations in New Brunswick, charge 15% HST. For out-of-province customers, apply destination-based rates.
4. Show tax on invoices. Show the single HST rate and total tax amount on each invoice.
5. File returns on time. File HST returns with the CRA at your assigned frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annually). Late filing attracts penalties and interest.
6. Claim input tax credits (ITCs) correctly. Full ITCs on HST paid for business expenses. Keep all receipts and invoices.
7. Maintain records for 6+ years. The CRA and provincial auditors require invoices showing supplier Business Numbers (BNs), tax breakdowns by rate, transaction dates, and customer details.

Destination-Based Sourcing for New Brunswick
