GST + PST Dual System Overview

Saskatchewan maintains a separate provincial sales tax alongside the federal GST. The 5% GST is a federal value-added tax administered by the CRA, while the 6% PST (Provincial Sales Tax) is a retail sales tax administered by the province. The two taxes are calculated independently on the purchase price (not compounded), bringing the total combined rate to 11%.

Step-by-Step Compliance Checklist for Saskatchewan

1. Assess your registration obligation. If your worldwide taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 (GST) / $0 (PST), you must register for the GST and provincial tax.
2. Register with the correct authorities. Register for GST with the CRA and for PST with Saskatchewan's tax authority.
3. Charge the correct rate. For FSA S0H and all other locations in Saskatchewan, charge 11% (5% GST + 6% provincial tax). For out-of-province customers, apply destination-based rates.
4. Show tax on invoices. Show GST and PST as separate line items on every invoice. The provincial tax authority may audit for correct disclosure.
5. File returns on time. File GST returns with the CRA and separate provincial returns with the {provinceName} Ministry of Finance.
6. Claim input tax credits (ITCs) correctly. Claim ITCs on GST only. The provincial tax is NOT recoverable — treat it as a cost of doing business.
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 Saskatchewan

Canadian sales tax follows the destination principle: you charge the tax rate of your customer's location, not your business location. This is especially important for e-commerce businesses, drop-shippers, and service providers based in Saskatchewan who ship to customers across Canada.

Use our FSA lookup tool to verify the correct rate for each customer's postal code before invoicing. For automated compliance, many businesses integrate the FSA lookup into their checkout systems via API or use tax automation software.
