Do You Need to Register for HST/GST?
The $30,000 threshold catches many small businesses and self-employed Canadians by surprise. Once crossed, you are legally required to register, collect, and remit HST. Missing the deadline results in penalties — and the CRA often catches it through T2125 or T2 income discrepancies.
Voluntary registration available. Useful if you want to claim ITCs on startup expenses.
Mandatory registration. You may be eligible for the Quick Method.
Mandatory registration. Must use the regular method for all filings.
What We Handle for HST/GST
GST/HST Registration
We register your business number and RT account with the CRA — usually completed within 5 business days.
Quarterly & Annual Filing
We prepare and file your HST returns on time, whether you are on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual schedule.
Input Tax Credits (ITCs)
We identify and claim all eligible ITCs — HST paid on business purchases that offsets what you collect and remit.
Quick Method Election
For eligible small businesses, the Quick Method simplifies HST calculations and often results in keeping more money.
HST Adjustments
We fix prior-period errors, file amended returns, and help you catch up on missed filings before CRA notices arrive.
Remittance & Reconciliation
We reconcile your HST collected vs. remitted, ensuring your books and CRA account match perfectly at year-end.
Regular Method vs. Quick Method
Regular Method
Ideal for: Businesses with significant input costs
- Track all HST collected
- Claim ITCs on all business expenses
- Remit the difference
- Best for product-based or high-expense businesses
Quick Method
Ideal for: Service businesses under $400K
- Multiply HST-included revenue by flat rate
- No need to track individual ITCs
- Keep the difference between rate charged and rate remitted
- Simpler and often more profitable for service businesses
