Nova Scotia GST/HST registration FAQ
What sales tax do I charge in Nova Scotia once I register?
Nova Scotia applies HST at 14%. Because Nova Scotia is an HST province, you register once and file a single combined return through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). There is no separate provincial sales tax account to manage.
Does the $30,000 GST/HST threshold work differently in Nova Scotia?
No. The $30,000 small supplier threshold is a federal rule and applies in Nova Scotia 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 14% in Nova Scotia.
