Canada Sales Tax by Province for ASIC Miners (GST, PST, QST, HST)

Quick answer

Canadian sales tax on a Bitcoin ASIC miner depends on the buyer's province. All 13 provinces and territories charge the 5% federal GST (or it is built into HST). Combined rates range from 5% (Alberta, the three territories) to 15% (the Atlantic HST provinces). Quebec is 5% GST + 9.975% QST = 14.975%; Ontario is 13% HST; British Columbia and Manitoba are 5% GST + 7% PST/RST = 12%. Used ASIC hardware bought from a registered seller is taxed the same as new.
