What information does the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) require on a GST/HST invoice?

For invoices over $150 CAD, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires the supplier's business or legal name, invoice date, customer name, a clear description of goods or services, the total amount payable, the exact GST/HST rate or amount charged, and the supplier's 15-character CRA GST/HST registration number (ending in RT0001).

How are GST, HST, PST, and QST calculated across Canadian provinces?

Canadian sales tax depends on the place of supply: Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut charge 5% GST only; Ontario charges 13% HST; Nova Scotia charges 14% HST; New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and PEI charge 15% HST; British Columbia charges 5% GST + 7% PST; Saskatchewan charges 5% GST + 6% PST; Manitoba charges 5% GST + 7% RST; and Quebec charges 5% GST + 9.975% QST.
