Jeri,
Here, in Alberta, there is no Provincial Sales Tax. There is the Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) which is applied on many items (non-nutritional food, clothing, cars, tvs, shampoo, soap, etc) at the rate of 7%. In Saskatchewan, there IS a Provincial Sales Tax which is applied at 7% also. So, I buy an item for $100 in Saskatchewan. I first get the GST at 7%, The cost is now $107. Then that is taxed Provincially. So, add 7% of $107.
