GST/HST field layout
Canadian GST/HST Receipt Template
Start with an editable layout for Canadian merchant details, item rows, CAD totals, payment information, and province-specific tax fields.
The template is a record-building tool, not an original supplier-issued receipt or tax invoice.
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) GST/HST Invoicing Rules
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) classifies sales into taxable, zero-rated, and exempt. Most basic groceries (milk, bread, vegetables, fresh meat) are zero-rated (0% tax), while snack foods, carbonated drinks, restaurant meals, fuel, and general merchandise carry full provincial GST/HST.
Provincial GST, HST, PST, and QST
Provincial Tax Rates: 13% HST (Ontario), 14% HST (Nova Scotia, since April 1, 2025), 15% HST (New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador), 5% GST + 9.975% QST (Quebec), 5% GST + 7% PST (British Columbia), 5% GST + 6% PST (Saskatchewan), 5% GST + 7% PST (Manitoba), and 5% GST only (Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon).

Use Canadian dollars and copy the merchant, date, items, payment details, and tax treatment from the confirmed transaction.
Canada GST/HST FAQs
Using a GST/HST receipt template in Canada
How are basic groceries taxed for GST/HST across Canadian provinces?
Under CRA rules, basic groceries (unprepared meat, fish, milk, bread, produce, eggs) are zero-rated, meaning 0% GST/HST is charged. However, snack foods, single-serving baked goods (under 6 items), soft drinks, and hot prepared foods are fully taxable at provincial GST/HST rates.
What is the difference between GST, HST, and PST on Canadian receipts?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is the 5% federal tax applied nationwide. In participating provinces (ON, NS, NB, NL, PEI), the federal and provincial taxes are harmonized into a single HST rate (13% or 15%). In non-participating provinces (BC, SK, MB, QC), provincial sales taxes (PST/QST) are shown as separate lines alongside the 5% GST.
How does PC Optimum loyalty appear on Canadian receipts?
When a PC Optimum card is scanned at Loblaws, No Frills, or Shoppers Drug Mart, the receipt footer displays points earned on the current transaction (from base offers and personalized bonus offers), total accumulated balance, and the redemption conversion ($10 per 10,000 points).
Can Canadian businesses claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) with store receipts?
Yes, registered Canadian businesses can claim ITCs to recover the GST/HST paid on commercial expenses. For purchases under $100, the till receipt must show the seller's business name, date, and total paid. For purchases between $100 and $500, the seller's 9-digit GST/HST registration number and tax breakdown are legally mandatory.
Quick Answer
What is a Canadian receipt template?
A Canadian receipt template is an editable layout for organising retailer details, purchase dates, itemised charges in CAD, payment information, and applicable GST, HST, PST, or QST fields. It can help document transaction details you already know, but it is not an original retailer-issued receipt or tax invoice.
