GST/ HST Filling FAQs
The due date for GST/HST returns depends on your reporting frequency, which may be annual, quarterly, or monthly based on your business’s revenue. Annual filers typically file within three months of the fiscal year-end, while quarterly and monthly filers have different deadlines. We can help you determine the best schedule for your needs.
Input tax credits (ITCs) allow you to recover the GST/HST paid on eligible business expenses. For example, if you paid GST/HST on office supplies or business equipment, you may claim ITCs to offset the amount you owe. Our team ensures you maximize these credits to reduce your tax liability.
If your business generates over $30,000 in revenue over four consecutive quarters, you’re required to register for GST/HST. If you’re below this threshold, registration is optional, but it may still offer advantages. We can help you decide if registering is beneficial for your business.
To prepare your GST/HST return, we need documentation of all sales and income, as well as receipts for purchases and expenses that include GST/HST. We provide a detailed checklist to help you organize the necessary records.
Keeping accurate records of all transactions and working with a professional accountant can minimize the risk of errors. Our team ensures that your returns are filed correctly, avoiding common mistakes that could lead to CRA inquiries or penalties.
If you receive a notice, it’s important to respond promptly. We can help you understand the notice, prepare the required documents, and communicate with the CRA to resolve any issues efficiently.
