About Alberta Sales Tax
Alberta is unique among Canadian provinces as it does not charge a provincial sales tax (PST). Shoppers and businesses in Alberta only pay the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5%.
As a result, the combined tax rate is 5% in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and throughout the province. Reversing Alberta sales tax is as simple as dividing the total by 1.05.

* Unlike in the US, Canadian provinces apply sales tax uniformly across all municipalities. City-level or county-level surcharges do not exist in Canada.
