Is there sales tax on groceries in New Brunswick?

Basic groceries are zero-rated across Canada, so most of a grocery shop in New Brunswick carries no sales tax. Prepared foods, snacks and non-food items are taxed at the normal rate.

How do I find the tax inside a price that already includes it?

Divide the total by 1 plus the tax rate to get the subtotal, then subtract the subtotal from the total. The calculator above does it for you and always shows Subtotal, Tax and Total separately.

Are these rates up to date?

Yes. Rates follow the published CRA and Revenu Quebec schedules and are reviewed whenever a jurisdiction changes them. Figures here are planning estimates, not tax advice or a filing.
