Registering and collecting tax in Prince Edward Island
HST is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Businesses register, charge and remit it through a single GST/HST account. Most businesses must register for GST/HST once their worldwide taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. For GST/HST, sellers based elsewhere in Canada charge the rate of the province the goods are delivered to, so a sale shipped to Prince Edward Island carries Prince Edward Island's GST/HST rate.
