Do I have to pay HST if I make less than $30,000?
No. If your gross revenue is under $30,000 over four quarters in a row, you’re a small supplier. No need to register. Once you cross $30,000, you must register and start charging HST right away. You have 29 days.
What about HST filing dates?
It depends on filing frequency. Monthly: one month after period ends. Quarterly: one month after the quarter ends. Annual: three months after the fiscal year end. Sole proprietors with December 31 year end file by June 15, but payment is due April 30.
Can I file my own HST?
Yes, through CRA My Business Account or NETFILE. But many businesses miss eligible credits and overpay. A GST return filing service catches what you miss.
What is the Quick Method for HST?
A simpler way to calculate HST for businesses under $400,000 in annual revenue. Instead of tracking every ITC, you remit a lower percentage (8.8% in Ontario for services) and keep the difference. Accountants, lawyers, and financial consultants can’t use it.
How long does CRA take to process HST return?
Refunds usually take 2 to 8 weeks for electronic returns. Paper takes longer. If CRA selects your return for review, expect months. You can track progress by checking status in CRA My Business Account.
What happens if I file my HST return late?
CRA charges 1% of balance owing plus 0.25% per month, up to 12 months. Interest accrues daily. Repeat late filers pay higher penalties. File on time even if you can’t pay the full amount.
What is HST recovery?
Claiming Input Tax Credits on business expenses. Every time you pay HST on a business purchase, you can recover it on your return. Proper tracking reduces what you owe or gets you a refund. We use HST recovery automation through QuickBooks and Xero to catch every credit.
What is GST/HST Notice of Assessment?
A letter CRA sends after processing your return. It confirms what you filed, any changes, and your balance. If something looks wrong, request a GST/HST post assessment review.
Who is eligible for the $3,000 GST rebate?
That’s a personal credit for individuals, not businesses. Businesses claim ITCs instead. If your credits exceed the HST you collected, CRA refunds the difference.
Can you paper file HST returns?
Most businesses must file electronically. Paper is only for annual filers under $1.5 million who meet certain conditions. CRA charges penalties if you don’t. We file all returns electronically.
How much does HST filing cost?
HST return and GST return services start at $500 per filing if your books are ready. Usually tax firms cover it as part of their bookkeeping and corporate tax return engagements. Book a free call for exact numbers.
Do I need an HST accountant near me?
