Super HST

Super HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is a combined tax applied in some provinces that merges the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) with the provincial sales tax (PST) into a single unified rate. This streamlining simplifies the tax system for businesses and consumers by consolidating multiple taxes into one, making transactions more transparent and easier to understand. The Super HST is collected at the point of sale and supports funding for public services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. It aims to create a consistent taxation approach across the participating provinces, reducing complexity and encouraging economic activity.
