On July 1, 2010, Ontario implemented a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that applies to most purchases and transactions. The 13 per cent HST replaces the federal goods and services tax (GST) and the provincial sales tax (PST).
The Canada Revenue Agency administers the HST. Visit their website at www.cra.gc.ca/gsthst or call 1 800 959-5525 for more information.
