Saskatchewan Invoice Software with Automatic 5% GST + 6% PST

What Saskatchewan PST Applies To (and Doesn't)

Saskatchewan's Provincial Sales Tax had a major base expansion in 2017 that pulled many services into PST that used to be exempt. If your SK invoice template pre-dates that change — or was copied from an older BC template — you may be under-charging. The 2017 changes added insurance premiums, professional services, construction labour, real estate commissions, and many repair/installation services to the taxable base.

Saskatchewan also enforces PST on out-of-province sellers who meet the small-supplier threshold — so online sellers, SaaS providers, and streaming services making taxable supplies into SK must register and collect. iBill.ca's place-of-supply engine handles this automatically when your client's province is set to SK.

Typically PST-taxable in Saskatchewan (charge GST 5% + PST 6%)

• Tangible goods (retail sales, equipment, supplies)
• Most professional services since 2017 (legal, accounting, engineering, architecture, management consulting)
• Insurance premiums (auto, life, property)
• Construction labour, repair services, installation, maintenance
• Real estate commissions and many brokerage fees
• Telecommunications, software, SaaS, and streaming services
• Accommodation, restaurant meals, and prepared food
• Online sales delivered into Saskatchewan (over registration threshold)

Typically PST-exempt in Saskatchewan (charge GST 5% only)

• Basic groceries (same as GST zero-rated)
• Prescription drugs and most medical devices
• Residential rent and most residential utility services
• Health care, education, and child care services
• Most basic financial services
• Agriculture inputs (seed, feed, fertilizer for commercial farms)

This is not legal or tax advice — Saskatchewan Finance publishes detailed PST Information Bulletins (IB-nn series) that cover every edge case, including sector-specific guidance for construction, agriculture, and mining. If you're unsure whether your specific service is taxable, check the official Saskatchewan government guidance or consult a local tax professional. iBill.ca gives you the tools; you set the line-level tax treatment.

Saskatchewan → Ontario client: charge 13% HST, not GST + PST

A Regina consultant invoicing a Toronto client charges Ontario's 13% HST, not Saskatchewan's 5% GST + 6% PST. The HST is remitted to CRA as part of your GST/HST return — Saskatchewan PST is never charged on out-of-province clients, regardless of where the work was done.

Saskatchewan → Manitoba client: charge 5% GST + 7% MB RST

A Saskatoon business invoicing a Winnipeg client charges 5% GST + 7% Manitoba RST — not Saskatchewan's 6% PST. MB RST is 7%, SK PST is 6%, and they're remitted to different provincial governments. iBill.ca applies the correct MB RST rate automatically when the client province is MB.

Saskatchewan → Alberta client: charge 5% GST only

A Regina business invoicing an Alberta client charges 5% GST only — no HST and no Saskatchewan PST. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so the invoice total is just subtotal + 5% GST. Common for SK oilfield-services businesses working cross-border into AB.

Saskatchewan → US or international client: zero tax (export)

Exports are zero-rated for GST/HST purposes under Canadian tax law. A Saskatchewan potash exporter, SaaS company, or agricultural-services business invoicing a US or international client charges 0% tax. iBill.ca supports an "International" client classification that automatically sets the tax to zero while keeping the invoice CRA-ready for export documentation.
