Depending on your revenue, you may be required to register for HST.   If you have any additional questions, contact the Regional Business Centre and we will assist you with the process.

HST

The HST is administered by Canada Revenue Agency.  It is a 13% tax on the sale of most goods and services sold in Canada.

HST registration requirements are based solely on income.  If your business is engaged in commercial activity with revenue of more than $30 000 in any 12 consecutive months, you are required to register, charge and remit HST.  If your business’ revenues are lesser than $30 000, HST registration is optional.  However, it may be to your advantage to register voluntarily.

The difference between what you charged to your customers and what you paid on your purchases will be either what you owe the government or what you will be refunded.

There is no fee for registration.  For more information and/or to register, visit Canada Revenue Agency's website, start the online application or call Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-5525.
