Frequently asked questions

When do I have to register for HST?

Generally once your worldwide taxable sales are more than $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters. Some businesses, such as taxi and ride sharing services, must register from the start.

How often do I need to file?

It depends on your annual sales. Smaller businesses usually file annually, and larger ones quarterly or monthly. You can sometimes choose a more frequent period.

I am behind on my HST returns. Can you help?

Yes. I can prepare the missing returns and help you deal with the CRA about any interest or penalties.
