Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA), Alberta Finance,
maintains a central list of
Alberta government departments and agencies exempt from paying the federal Goods and Services
Tax (GST) as set out in section 125 of the Constitution
Act of Canada. TRA also files
the Alberta government’s GST returns, remits
GST payable by Alberta government entities, and
recovers overpayments.
The list of Alberta
government departments and agencies not
required to pay GST on purchases of taxable supplies
and services is provided here. These entities are
also not required to pay the Harmonized Sales Tax
(HST) on their purchases in HST-participating provinces.
For further information, please telephone (780) 427-9425. For toll-free
calling from within Alberta, but outside the Edmonton
calling area, please dial 310-0000, then (780)
