A capital city's mix of businesses

Regina had 226,404 people in 2021 and 7,940 businesses with employees in Statistics Canada's latest count. Health care led with 1,111, then retail with 919 and other services, the repair shops, salons and personal services, with 786.

For shops and service businesses the provincial piece is PST. Saskatchewan charges 6% on many goods and on a range of services, it is registered and filed with the province rather than the CRA, and none of it comes back as a credit the way GST does. HBT works on Regina files remotely from Calgary.

Does a Regina business need to charge PST?

If it sells taxable goods or taxable services in Saskatchewan, generally yes, and it registers with the province before its first taxable sale. PST is separate from GST, which is registered and filed with the CRA.
