Sales tax rate, registration threshold, and CRA rules for invoicing in Quebec — plus a worked example.
By InvoiceFlow Canada Team · Updated
Quick answer
Quebec charges both GST (5%) and QST (9.975%), a combined 14.975% on most goods and services — one of the highest combined rates in Canada. Both generally apply to typical freelance and consulting work. Register once your revenue crosses $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters.
Sales tax rate in Quebec
GST 5% + QST 9.975%
Quebec is administered differently from other provinces: Revenu Québec (not just the CRA) handles both GST and QST registration and filing for most Quebec businesses.
Worked example
A $1,000.00 invoice to a customer in Quebec:
- Subtotal
- $1,000.00
- GST 5%
- QST 9.975%
- Tax total
- $149.75
- Total due
- $1,149.75
When you must register
You must register for a GST/HST number once your total self-employed revenue crosses $30,000over four consecutive calendar quarters — below that, you're a CRA "small supplier" and aren't required to charge tax at all. This threshold is federal and applies the same way in every province.
