How to calculate HST in Nova Scotia
- To add HST: price before tax × 1.14 = price including tax. For example, 100.00 × 1.14 = 114.00.
- To remove HST: price including tax ÷ 1.14 = price before tax. For example, 114.00 ÷ 1.14 = 100.00.
- The tax inside a price that includes it: price including tax × 14 ÷ 114. For 114.00 that is 14.00.
