Common Questions

GST / HST Filing FAQ

You must register once your taxable revenues exceed $30,000 in any 12-month period or a single calendar quarter. You can also register voluntarily before that threshold to start claiming input tax credits on your business expenses. We can advise whether voluntary registration makes financial sense for your situation.
Your filing frequency depends on your annual taxable revenues: annual (under $1.5M), quarterly ($1.5M to $6M), or monthly (over $6M). We will help you choose the reporting period that best suits your cash flow and compliance needs.
Input tax credits let you recover the GST/HST you paid on business expenses and purchases, reducing your net tax owing. Commonly missed ITCs include home office expenses, vehicle costs, software subscriptions, professional fees, and capital equipment. Many small businesses significantly underclaim ITCs.
Act sooner rather than later. Penalties and interest compound over time, but CRA does offer relief programs for businesses that come forward voluntarily. We prepare all outstanding returns, calculate the net tax owing, and apply for penalty and interest waivers through the Voluntary Disclosure Program where applicable.
Not necessarily. Some supplies are zero-rated at 0%, like basic groceries and certain medical devices. Others are exempt, meaning no HST is charged and no ITCs can be claimed, like most residential rent. Misclassifying your supplies can lead to over-remitting or CRA reassessments.
Yes. The New Residential Rental Property Rebate and the GST/HST New Housing Rebate can recover a significant portion of the HST paid on qualifying new builds, substantial renovations, or assignment sales. We handle the full application process and make sure you do not miss out on any recovery.
