About Canada GST/HST Registration & Returns
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Businesses in Canada must register for GST/HST once their worldwide taxable supplies exceed C$30,000 in four consecutive calendar quarters (the small supplier threshold). GST is 5%; participating provinces charge a harmonised sales tax (HST) instead, and some provinces add their own provincial sales tax. Returns are filed monthly, quarterly or annually depending on revenue.
Non-resident sellers of digital products and services to Canadian consumers may need to register under the simplified regime even without a Canadian presence.
We register, set up the right rates by province and file returns with partner accountants.
| Small supplier threshold | C$30,000 over four quarters |
|---|---|
| GST | 5% |
| HST | In participating provinces |
| Filing frequency | By revenue |
Work that the law requires a Canadian accountant to sign or represent is delivered through Indus Tax's partner professionals; our team prepares the records, coordinates the filing and stays your single point of contact.
