Yep. Canada has the federal General Sales Tax (5%), and most provinces have a separate Provincial Sales Tax (varying rates). Some provinces have combined these into the Harmonized Sales Tax, which is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency and the provincial portion distributed according to their respective rates.
Other levels of government are not permitted to charge sales tax, or even income tax. Most cities' primary sources of income are property tax and development fees.
