Sales tax by province

Canadian tax rules base the tax on where the letter is going (the recipient's province). Here's what gets added at checkout on a letter to each province or territory:

Recipient's province / territoryTaxTotal on a C$6.15 letter
Ontario13% HSTC$6.95
New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island15% HSTC$7.07
Nova Scotia14% HSTC$7.01
Quebec14.975% GST + QSTC$7.07
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon5% GSTC$6.46

Example: a one-page black & white letter to Ontario is C$6.15 + C$0.80 HST = C$6.95 total. US letters are never taxed — this applies to Canadian addresses only.

Need tracking in Canada? Registered mail is Canada's tracked option — C$51.12 before tax for a one-page black & white letter, with tracking status you can check after mailing. Standard Canadian letters are untracked.

Questions about Canadian registered mail

What is registered mail in Canada?

Is Canadian registered mail tracked?
Yes — registered mail includes tracking status you can check after the letter is mailed. Ask the assistant you sent it through for the latest status. Standard Canadian letters don't include tracking.

When should I use registered mail?
Use registered mail for letters where tracking matters — legal documents, contracts, government correspondence, or anything valuable or time-critical. For everyday letters, standard mail at C$6.15 before tax is the economical choice.

How much is a 2-page registered letter to Canada?
C$51.50 before tax for black & white — C$51.12 for the first page plus C$0.38 for the second. Provincial tax is added at checkout based on the recipient's province.

Is tax added to registered mail?
Yes. Registered mail to a Canadian address follows the same tax rules as standard Canadian letters — the recipient's provincial tax (5% to 15% depending on the province) is added at checkout as its own line.

What's the difference between registered and standard mail in Canada?
Standard mail (from C$6.15 before tax) is untracked, like a regular stamped letter. Registered mail (from C$51.12 before tax) is tracked with status you can check. Both are printed and mailed the same way; registered adds the tracking and extra handling.

Can I cancel a registered letter?
You can cancel while the fulfilment window is still open — ask your assistant to cancel the job. Once printing has started, the letter can't be cancelled.
