Sales tax & payroll
in Quebec.
Quebec charges 5% GST + 9.975% QST. Here are the current rates a Quebec business needs — sales tax, CPP, EI, and the CRA figures — with free calculators and one app that handles all of it.
Quebec sales tax: 14.975%
| What | Quebec |
|---|---|
| Tax type | GST + QST |
| Rate | 5% GST + 9.975% QST |
| Headline rate | 14.975% |
| Recoverable on expenses (ITC)? | GST is claimable as an ITC; QST is claimable separately through Revenu Quebec. |
Registered businesses collect this tax on sales and claim back the recoverable portion paid on expenses (the Input Tax Credit). The net is what you remit to the CRA and Revenu Quebec. ToolFluency puts the right Quebec rate on every invoice automatically and tracks the ITC on every expense for you.
Paying employees in Quebec
Quebec runs its own plans: QPP replaces CPP and QPIP covers parental benefits, so the Quebec EI employee rate is reduced to 1.32%. ToolFluency calculates QPP and QPIP automatically when an employee's province is set to Quebec.
On top of the federal basic personal amount ($16,129) and federal brackets, Quebec applies its own provincial income-tax brackets to each paycheque. ToolFluency's payroll engine and the free paycheck calculator apply the current Quebec brackets so the deduction on every stub is correct.
Stop looking up rates — let the app do it
The calculators above are free forever. But if you run a Quebec business, ToolFluency puts the right sales tax on every invoice, runs CPP/EI/QPP/QPIP payroll, tracks your ITCs, and builds your GST/HST return — so you are never hand-calculating 14.975% again. Try it free, no credit card.
