Sales Tax Rate in New Brunswick in 2026
| Tax | Rate |
|---|---|
| Federal share (included in HST) | 5% |
| Provincial share (included in HST) | 10% |
| HST charged | 15% |
New Brunswick applies the 15% HST, made up of the 5% federal share and a 10% provincial share. Along with Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, it's the highest sales tax rate in Canada.
Since Nova Scotia's 2025 cut, the two neighbouring provinces no longer share a rate: a $100.00 purchase costs $115.00 in Moncton and $114.00 in Halifax. For a sale delivered from one province to the other, the delivery province's rate applies.
Worked Example: $120.00 in New Brunswick
Tax = price before tax × 15%
Total = price before tax × 1.15
Example: $120.00 before tax in New Brunswick
The math: $120.00 × 15% = $18.00 of HST. Each tax is rounded to the cent, then added to the price, for a total of $138.00.
The Other Way: Finding the Price Before Tax
If the displayed price already includes tax, divide it by 1.15: $138.00 ÷ 1.15 = $120.00. Subtracting 15% from the total would give $117.30, too low a result: the percentage applies to the price before tax, not the total.
Frequently Asked Questions: Sales Tax in New Brunswick
What is the sales tax rate in New Brunswick in 2026?
The rate is 15% in New Brunswick: it's the HST, which combines the 5% federal share with a 10% provincial share. On $100.00, the tax is $15.00, for a total of $115.00.
How do I calculate sales tax in New Brunswick?
Multiply the price before tax by 1.15 to get the tax-included total, or by 15% to get the tax alone. On $120.00, the tax is $18.00 and the total is $138.00.
How do I remove sales tax from a price in New Brunswick?
Divide the tax-included amount by 1.15, instead of subtracting 15%. A $138.00 total gives back $138.00 ÷ 1.15 = $120.00 before tax. The CalculatriceTaxes.ca reverse calculator applies this formula automatically.
Do I add GST on top of HST in New Brunswick?
No. The 15% HST already includes the 5% federal share. The receipt shows a single HST line; adding GST on top would tax the federal share twice.
