Reminder: The Quebec Sales Tax Rate Increased Effective January 1, 2011

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Cyndee Todgham Cherniak

Effective January 1, 2011, the Quebec sales tax (QST) rate increased from 7.5% to 8.5%.  Have you updated your computerized systems to reflect this change? Are you charging the right amount of QST to your Quebec based customers/clients?

For more information about the QST rate increase, please go to the Quebec Ministry of Revenu e web-site.  Quebec has issued statements that may be helpful to you.

Please note that the QST rate is nominally 8.5%, but is also applied to federal 5% GST. The effective QST rate is 8.925%.  The QST rate will increase to 9.5% (effective provincial rate 9.975%) on January 1, 2012.
