Quick answer
For orders shipped within Québec, we charge a combined 14.975% sales tax: 5% federal GST + 9.975% provincial QST. Other Canadian provinces are charged according to their own rates (HST or GST + PST). Prices shown on bjamil.com already include the applicable tax — no surprise at checkout.
How it breaks down
- Québec — 5% GST + 9.975% QST = 14.975% total
- Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland — 13% or 15% HST
- Alberta, NWT, Nunavut, Yukon — 5% GST only
- BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba — 5% GST + provincial sales tax
The exact rate is applied based on the shipping address you enter at checkout, not the billing address.
