CategoriesBusiness & Finance

QST stands for Quebec sales tax, a tax abbreviation.

Provincial value-added tax in Quebec, charged at 9.975% alongside the 5% federal GST for a combined rate of about 14.975%, and administered by Revenu Québec rather than the federal government.

Example: The restaurant bill lists GST and QST separately.

Usage notes

In French it is the TVQ (taxe de vente du Québec), and the GST is the TPS. Businesses must register for both and claim input tax refunds for the QST paid on purchases.
