Registering and collecting tax in Yukon
GST is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). There is no provincial or territorial sales tax to register for. 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 Yukon carries Yukon's GST/HST rate.
