Question

I have a total of $25.00 and I would like to know how much GST and PST I paid?

Answer 1

Depends were you purchased it

In Ontario it would be

1.10 in GST

1.77 in PST

2.87 Total Tax

In Alberta

1.19 GST

In Quebec

1.10 GST

1.74 QST

2.85 Total Taxes

Answer 2

What you need to do is figure out what the tax rate for your province is.  In Alberta there is no provincial tax rate so you would only have the GST 5%.  In the rest of the provinces what you need to do is take the provincial tax (let's assume it is 8%, but it could be different) and the GST (5%).  These two added together are 13% (8% + 5%).   You need to take the 13% down to a decimal 13/100 = 0.13.  Then you take the $25 and divide it by 1.13 which equals 22.12 (this is the amount item before tax.  The tax would be $25 - $22.12 = $2.88.

Answer 3

it depends on the province you are in.

In Ontario for example, it is 8% PST and 6% GST
