What changed for Canadian Shopify stores in 2026?

Shopify states that Basic Tax is not available to new stores opened on or after May 13, 2026. Those stores can use Shopify Tax or manual tax settings. Existing stores that already use Basic Tax can continue using it, so the right comparison depends on the store creation date and current admin configuration.

Calculation does not remove the seller's responsibility

Shopify Tax can calculate Canadian sales tax and surface liability information, but a calculation service is not the same as a registration decision or a filed return. Confirm GST/HST, PST, RST, and QST registrations, product categories, exemptions, and filing obligations for your business.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Shopify Tax cost in Canada?

Shopify currently lists a 0.25% fee for Starter, Basic, Grow, and Advanced stores and 0.15% for Shopify Plus on eligible Canadian orders after the store reaches $100,000 CAD in global sales. The fee is capped at $0.99 CAD per order.

Is Shopify Tax free below $100,000 CAD?

Shopify says each store can use Shopify Tax without calculation fees until that store reaches $100,000 CAD in global sales. Confirm the threshold status shown in your own admin.

Does Shopify Tax file and remit GST/HST automatically?

Tax calculation and filing are separate. Shopify says merchants remain responsible unless they use and configure an applicable automated filing service. Verify registrations and filing responsibilities with the relevant authority.

What order amount should I enter?

Use the average total transaction amount for affected Canadian orders, including taxes and shipping, because that is how Shopify describes the calculation-fee base.
