What is Harmonized Sales Tax for us Staties that have no idea?
We used to have PST (Provincial Sales Tax) and GST (Goods and Services Tax) sur charged onto items when you purchased them. Depended on the category the item was in whether you paid PST and/or GST or neither.
They're gone now. Now it's blended into HST ... and again depends on the category as to whether it's exempt or not. So the price as marked plus 13% HST.
