Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
As an HST province, New Brunswick collects a single harmonized tax administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Businesses register once for HST rather than separately for GST and PST.
Most goods and services are subject to the combined sales tax. Common exemptions include basic groceries, prescription drugs, and certain medical devices. Quebec (QST) and Ontario (HST) have specific rules for items like used vehicles and real property.
