Prince Edward Island operates under a unified 15% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) administered directly by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), combining federal and provincial components into a single rate. For non-resident suppliers of digital products and electronic services, registration under the simplified GST/HST framework is triggered upon reaching the CAD 30,000 threshold in annual sales to Canadian consumers. Compliance cycles scale with revenue—ranging from monthly to annual tiers—with electronic filings and payments due within one month following the close of the reporting period.

How-To Guides: Prince Edward Island SaaS VAT

Step: 1 Threshold

Effective July 1, 2021, Canada requires the following non-resident vendors to register for and collect the federal GST/HST if their sales exceed CAD 30,000 in a 12-month period

 

Registration is mandatory once this threshold is exceeded.

Step: 2 Business Registration

Non-residents with no physical presence typically register via the Simplified GST/HST regime for the digital economy through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Step: 3 TIN/VAT Number

A 9-digit Business Number (BN) followed by a 4-digit program identifier (e.g., 123456789 RT 0001) issued by the CRA.

Step: 1 Standard Rate

The sales tax rate is 15% (HST). This consists of a 5% federal GST component and a 10% provincial component.

Step: 2 Rate Formula

To calculate your tax amounts, please use the following formula:

 

Tax Amount = Net Price X 15%

Step: 3 Reverse Charge (B2B)

Applies. Under the simplified regime, non-resident SaaS providers do not charge HST to B2B customers who provide a valid GST/HST registration number. The customer is responsible for self-assessing tax if the service is for non-commercial use.

Step: 1 Selling B2C

You must charge 15% HST to “specified Canadian recipients” (unregistered individuals) whose usual place of residence is in PEI. You must collect two pieces of non-conflicting evidence (e.g., billing address, IP address, or bank location) to determine the location.

Step: 2 Selling B2B

Obtain and verify the customer’s GST/HST registration number. If provided, do not charge the tax. This effectively acts as a zero-rating/reverse charge for cross-border SaaS.

Step: 3 Invoice Requirements

Invoices must include:

  • Supplier business name

  • GST/HST registration number

  • Date of invoice

  • Description of services

  • Total amount payable

  • Total tax charged.

  • For sales over CAD 150, the purchaser’s name must be included

Step: 1 Filing Interval

Standard filing for simplified registrants is Quarterly.

 

Step: 2 Filing Deadline

Taxes are filed one month after the end of the reporting period (e.g., the quarter ending March 31 is due April 30).

Step: 3 Submission

Electronic filing via CRA My Business Account or the GST/HST NETFILE portal. Payments are remitted in CAD via online banking or international wire transfer.

Step: 4 Record Keeping

Tax records should be kept for a minimum of 6 years from the end of the latest year to which they relate.
