Every province except Alberta has implemented either a provincial sales tax or the Harmonized Sales Tax. The federal GST rate is 5 percent, effective January 1, 2008. The territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut have no territorial sales taxes, so only the GST is collected.
HSA Rules: a number of rules and regulations are set for health savings accounts you should be aware of. A Health Savings Account or HSA is a medical savings account that is personally owned and managed by the individual.
To get the benefits of an HSA, the law requires that the savings account be combined with a qualified high deductible health insurance plan which can cost less than other health insurance plans. In 2016, the minimum annual deductible of a qualified HSA plan for an individual is $1,300 and $2,600 for a family. A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-favored savings account created for the purpose of paying medical expenses.
