You can find below the list of applicable taxes that misterb&b collects directly from the Guests, then reports and remits on behalf of its Hosts in Canada. For any other applicable taxes not mentioned as collected by misterb&b below, you remain fully responsible for collection and/or report, and payment.
General Sales Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax
misterb&b registered to collect the GST/HST from the Guests for bookings not exceeding 30 consecutive days. Accordingly, misterb&b will collect (according to the provinces):
- General Sales Tax (provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon). 5%
- Harmonized Sales Tax (i.e. General Sales Tax + local Provincial Sales Tax). 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, on the listing price.
GST/HST apply both on rent amount and the Guest misterb&b services fees.

GST/HST registration is mandatory when your hosting business exceeds certain thresholds - you can consult this official guidance from the Canada Revenue Agency. Please consult a tax specialist if you need assistance in determining your registration obligations.
