APPENDIX B

Sales Taxes

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES

BRIEF EXERCISE B-1

There are two main types of sales taxes in Canada, the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) sometimes called the Retail Sales Tax.

For a business that is a registrant which charges GST/HST to its customers, all GST/HST paid by the business on all purchases is recovered and does not represent a cost to the business. On the other hand, the PST is not recoverable and the amount paid by the business is included as a cost of purchasing an asset or paying for a service.

From the perspective of a consumer, the two types of taxes are viewed as the same because neither tax is fully recoverable.
