Quebec GST and QST together are 14.975% on a Montreal-area HandNorth quote, and that tax already sits inside the all-in number. Compact cards sometimes say “Quebec HST” as a short label — remittance is still GST and QST, not a federal HST province. There is no separate “HST on fees” surprise, and we will not invent an HST number or a T4A slip for an account that does not have one.
1 What 14.975% is
It is the combined GST and QST used on these quotes. It is not “about 14%” and it is not a U.S. sales-tax stand-in. Other Canadian provinces will use their own rates when we open there.
2 For homeowners
The checkout total is the number to pay. Deposit, milestone and final amounts are slices of that all-in figure, not new taxes stacked on top. See pricing.
3 For professionals
Earnings can show GST+QST on a won job. A downloadable tax report is on the way. If we do not have your GST/HST number, we will not print a fake one. Questions: Contact with the Tax (GST+QST) category.
Questions people ask
- Does a U.S. job use 14.975%?
- No. That rate is Quebec. A U.S. city will use its own sales tax when it is live.
