Construction software with Nova Scotia HST at the current rate
Nova Scotia's HST is 14%. A good deal of construction software, and a good many estimate templates, still carry 15%. BuildersBridge applies 14% on every estimate and invoice, in CAD, from a single place that gets updated when a province moves.
Built for the way Nova Scotia builds
Nova Scotia reduced its HST rate, and a rate change is precisely where spreadsheet estimating quietly breaks: the old number survives in a template, gets copied into the next quote, and nobody notices until a client does. Because the rate lives in one place here rather than in each estimator's file, a provincial change is a single update rather than a hunt through every template in the business.
- HST applied at Nova Scotia's current 14% on estimates and invoices
- One rate source for the whole business, so a provincial change is one update
- Prices, quotes and reporting in CAD
- Subcontractor records carry WCB and insurance expiry, flagged when they lapse
- Project data held in a Canadian database region
Working out which tax applies to a job? How BuildersBridge handles GST, HST and PST by province walks through the rates and the real-property rules, province by province.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the HST rate in Nova Scotia?
- 14%. BuildersBridge applies it automatically on Nova Scotia estimates and invoices. If you are working from an older template that still says 15%, the quote is wrong by a point. (BuildersBridge is software, not tax advice.)
- What happens when a province changes its rate?
- The rate is held in one place for the whole platform rather than per estimate or per user, so a change is applied once and every new document picks it up. Documents already issued keep the rate they were issued with.
- Does it handle work across the Maritimes?
- Yes. New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island are at 15% HST and Nova Scotia at 14%, and the correct rate is applied per job by province rather than per company.
- Is BuildersBridge priced in Canadian dollars?
- Yes — Canadian plans are billed and quoted in CAD.
