The simplest sales tax position in the country
Edmonton businesses operate under the same Alberta rules HBT works in every day. There is no provincial sales tax, so the sales tax position is 5 percent GST and nothing else. That is the simplest arrangement in Canada and it removes a whole category of filing that Ontario, Quebec and BC businesses carry.
What is left to get right is the corporate side: the year end, the T2, instalments, and how the owner takes money out. Those are the same questions HBT handles across Alberta, and being three hours up the highway changes nothing about how the work runs.

Common question
Does an Edmonton business charge provincial sales tax?
No. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so an Edmonton business generally charges 5 percent GST and nothing further. That is the lowest combined rate in Canada and it means one sales tax registration and one set of returns rather than two. Businesses selling into other provinces may still have to charge that province's rate under the place of supply rules.
