Canada invoicing FAQ

When do I need to register for GST/HST in Canada?

You must register for GST/HST if your worldwide taxable revenues exceed $30,000 in any single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters. Once registered, you charge GST (5%) or HST (varies by province) and can claim input tax credits.

What's the difference between GST and HST in Canada?

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a 5% federal tax. HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) combines GST with provincial sales tax in participating provinces (13% in Ontario, 15% in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI). Other provinces charge GST plus separate PST.

What information must be on a Canadian invoice?

Canadian invoices should include: your business name and address, Business Number (if registered), invoice date and number, customer details, description of goods/services, amounts charged, applicable GST/HST/PST separately shown, and total amount due.
