Both GST and PST on furniture in Canada?

Question

Hi :)

Just wondering whether both GST and PST are added to your price total if you're buying furniture in Canada. (Ikea, more specifically). Would it still be 13 %, or only GST, or only PST?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

I'm a Canadian who moved to the U.S. in 2000. Both taxes will be charged on your purchase. What would make you think otherwise?

Answer 2

Both taxes are added to the purchase Price.

Answer 3

Both would be added to the price of any purchase for furniture. GST is now 5%, and the PST is 8% in most places.
