Newfoundland and Labrador applies the 15% HST, which combines the federal 5% GST with a 10% provincial share. The same rate applies on the island of Newfoundland and in Labrador.
On a large purchase, the gap with neighbouring provinces becomes visible: $1,000.00 of purchases comes to $1,150.00 in St. John's, versus $1,140.00 in Nova Scotia and $1,149.75 in Quebec.
Worked Example: $500.00 in Newfoundland and Labrador
Tax = price before tax × 15%
Total = price before tax × 1.15
Example: $500.00 before tax in Newfoundland and Labrador
The math: $500.00 × 15% = $75.00 of HST. Each tax is rounded to the cent, then added to the price, for a total of $575.00.
The Other Way: Finding the Price Before Tax
If the displayed price already includes tax, divide it by 1.15: $575.00 ÷ 1.15 = $500.00. Subtracting 15% from the total would give $488.75, too low a result: the percentage applies to the price before tax, not the total.
Frequently Asked Questions: Sales Tax in Newfoundland and Labrador
What is the sales tax rate in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2026?
The rate is 15% in Newfoundland and Labrador: 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 Newfoundland and Labrador?
Multiply the price before tax by 1.15 to get the tax-included total, or by 15% to get the tax alone. On $500.00, the tax is $75.00 and the total is $575.00.
How do I remove sales tax from a price in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Divide the tax-included amount by 1.15, instead of subtracting 15%. A $575.00 total gives back $575.00 ÷ 1.15 = $500.00 before tax. The CalculatriceTaxes.ca reverse calculator applies this formula automatically.
Do I add GST on top of HST in Newfoundland and Labrador?
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.
