Talk to a CPADivide by 1.13 in Ontario
To remove Ontario's 13% HST, divide the total by 1.13: a $565 receipt is $500 before tax and $65 of HST. If the receipt includes items that qualify for a point-of-sale rebate of the provincial portion, such as children's clothing, those lines carry 5% only, so split them out first.
To add HST to a price, use the Ontario HST Calculator.
