Does Saskatchewan PST apply to consulting or freelance services?

It depends on the specific service — Saskatchewan's PST covers a broader range of services than some other provinces, so unlike BC (where most consulting/freelance work is PST-exempt), it's worth confirming your specific service's PST status directly rather than assuming exemption.

Is Saskatchewan's PST the same rate as Manitoba's?

Close but not identical — Saskatchewan's PST is 6% (11% combined with GST) while Manitoba's is 7% (12% combined). Both are separate from BC's 7% PST as well — always use the specific province's current rate.

Who administers PST registration in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan's Ministry of Finance handles PST registration provincially, separate from the CRA's federal GST registration — you'll typically need to register with both if your business is required to charge both taxes.

Quick answer

Saskatchewan charges 5% federal GST plus 6% provincial sales tax (PST), for a combined 11% on most goods and taxable services. Register for a GST number once your revenue crosses $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters; PST registration follows Saskatchewan's own provincial rules for taxable goods and services.

What's the sales tax rate in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan charges GST 5% + PST 6%on most goods and services — the exact rate InvoiceFlowCA applies automatically once you set your customer's province in the invoice generator below. Register once your self-employed revenue crosses $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters; below that threshold, no tax applies at all.

GST 5% + PST 6%

Saskatchewan's PST applies more broadly than BC's or Manitoba's — it covers a wider range of services in addition to goods, so don't assume a service-based business is automatically PST-exempt without checking.
