Could someone clarify the current standard VAT rate applicable in Canada for goods and services? I'm in the process of pricing my products and need accurate information on the prevailing VAT rate to ensure compliance. Additionally, any insights into recent updates or potential changes in the VAT structure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Absolutely, understanding VAT rates is crucial for business operations. In Canada, they don't have VAT specifically; instead, they have the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The standard rate for the GST is 5%, and the HST rates vary by province, ranging from 13% in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador to 15% in Nova Scotia.
