Alberta GST/HST registration FAQ

What sales tax do I charge in Alberta once I register?

Alberta applies GST at 5%. Alberta has no provincial or territorial sales tax, so you only register for and remit 5% GST through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It is the simplest setup in Canada.

Does the $30,000 GST/HST threshold work differently in Alberta?

No. The $30,000 small supplier threshold is a federal rule and applies in Alberta the same way it does across Canada. Once your taxable revenue passes $30,000 in a single calendar quarter, or across any four consecutive quarters, you must register within 29 days. What changes by province is the rate you charge, which is 5% in Alberta.
