GST/HST · Year-round operations
GST/HST that matches
your books.
Sales tax is where loose bookkeeping shows up first. We keep collected tax and input tax credits organized every period, so your GST/HST return is a reconciliation — not an estimate.
This is for you if
- Your revenue is approaching — or has passed — the $30,000 small supplier threshold.
- You’re registered but unsure whether your returns have been right.
- You sell online or across provinces and aren’t sure which rate applies.
- You’re claiming input tax credits without clear support for them.
Why it matters
Collected is not the same as owed.
GST/HST you collect is not your money, and input tax credits you claim need documentation behind them. When the two are guessed at filing time, businesses either overpay or set themselves up for questions later.

Good to know
- Small supplier threshold
- Generally, you must register once your taxable sales exceed $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. Registering voluntarily earlier can sometimes make sense.
- Ontario rate
- HST in Ontario is 13%. Other provinces use different combinations of GST, HST and provincial sales tax.

Questions
GST/HST: common questions
Should I register for GST/HST before I have to?
Sometimes. Voluntary registration lets you claim input tax credits but adds filing obligations and may affect your pricing to consumers. We go through the trade-offs with you.
Can you fix past GST/HST returns?
We can review past periods against your books, identify differences and help you understand the options for correcting them.
