Sales Tax in Yukon — 2026 Guide

GST-Only System Overview

Yukon is a GST-only jurisdiction, meaning only the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax applies. There is no provincial sales tax. This creates the simplest tax environment in Canada: businesses charge one rate, file one return with the CRA, and claim full input tax credits on their purchases. The 5% GST applies to most goods and services supplied in Yukon, with zero-rated items (basic groceries, prescription drugs) and exempt items (healthcare, education, financial services) treated the same as in the rest of Canada.

Step-by-Step Compliance Checklist for Yukon

1. Assess your registration obligation. If your worldwide taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 (federal GST), you must register for the GST.
2. Register with the correct authorities. Register for GST with the Canada Revenue Agency.
3. Charge the correct rate. For FSA Y0B and all other locations in Yukon, charge 5% GST. For out-of-province customers, apply destination-based rates.
4. Show tax on invoices. Show the GST amount as a separate line item.
5. File returns on time. File GST returns with the CRA.
6. Claim input tax credits (ITCs) correctly. Full ITCs on GST paid for business expenses.
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 Yukon

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 Yukon 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.
