We register your GST/HST account, calculate eligible Input Tax Credits, and file your periodic sales tax returns.
Navigating sales tax rules in Canada requires continuous vigilance. We assist businesses with registering for a GST/HST account once mandatory thresholds are crossed (or voluntarily to recover startup input tax credits), calculate eligible ITCs on business expenditures, and file periodic sales tax returns.
Once registered, a business is generally required to charge GST/HST on its taxable sales, track Input Tax Credits on eligible business expenses, and file returns on the frequency the CRA assigns — monthly, quarterly, or annually, based on revenue. Getting the registration timing, rate, and filing frequency right from the start helps avoid interest charges or a larger-than-expected bill down the road.
Ideal forBusinesses with gross annual revenues over $30,000, e-commerce sellers, and commercial landlords.
Certified expertise, proactive planning, and clear communication — on every engagement.

The CRA assigns a monthly, quarterly, or annual filing frequency based on revenue, and each period has its own return and payment deadline to track.
