Canada: About Goods and Service Tax (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), and Quebec Sales Tax (QST)

Taxes may be applicable to your purchase of TikTok Ads depending on the market or region of your "billing address", unless otherwise agreed.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax paid on most foods and services sold or provided in Canada. In New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the GST has been blended with the provincial sales tax and is called the Harmonized Sales Tax.

The Quebec Sales Tax (QST) is a tax you may be required to pay for goods and services purchased in Quebec if your billing address is set within the province of Quebec. Learn more about Input Tax Credits (ITCS) and Input Tax Refunds (ITRS) from Revenue Quebec for information about the input tax credits/input tax refunds on the QST charged by a supplier registered under the general system.
