PST applies to taxable goods and services consumed or used in Saskatchewan. It applies to goods and services purchased in the province as well as goods and services imported for consumption or use in Saskatchewan. New and used goods are subject to tax.
When you purchase or rent taxable goods or services from a supplier who is licensed to collect PST, you pay PST to the supplier. When you purchase or rent taxable goods or services from a supplier who did not collect the tax, such as an unlicensed supplier located outside Saskatchewan, you must self assess and pay the PST directly to the Revenue Division.
All businesses operating in Saskatchewan must be licensed or registered with the Ministry of Finance for PST purposes. Furthermore, businesses operating in Saskatchewan must register to obtain a PST number. Depending on the nature of the business, either a vendor's licence number or a registered consumer number will be issued.
Alcoholic beverages are not subject to PST but are subject to Liquor Consumption Tax (LCT) at a rate of 10 per cent on the total price paid by customers, excluding GST.
The rules and exemptions for PST are fairly complex and very detailed. Information about them span a very long list of separate documents.
Some of the more common items exempt from provincial sales tax include:
- Basic groceries
- Prescription drugs and medicines (that can only be obtained by prescription from a duly qualified medical practitioner)
- Books and magazines
- Feminine hygiene products
- Certain medical equipment and orthopedic appliances
- Diapers, cloth and disposable
Note that this is only a tiny subset of the enormous list of details the government provides. More details can be found on the official Saskatchewan government website we have linked below.
