Sales and Use Tax (GST/HST) Services in Canada

Sales and Use Tax (GST/HST) in Canada

Sales and use taxes, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), are important components of the Canadian tax system. Understanding and managing these taxes can be challenging for businesses of all sizes, which is why BOMCAS Canada offers expert tax services to help businesses navigate the complex tax landscape.

What is GST/HST?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a federal tax that applies to most goods and services in Canada. In some provinces, the GST is combined with the provincial sales tax to create the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The HST applies to the same goods and services as the GST, but at a combined rate that includes both the federal and provincial portions of the tax.

Who needs to register for GST/HST?

Businesses that provide taxable goods and services with annual revenues over $30,000 are required to register for GST/HST. However, even if a business does not meet the revenue threshold, it may still choose to voluntarily register for GST/HST to take advantage of input tax credits.

What are input tax credits?

Input tax credits (ITCs) allow businesses to recover the GST/HST they pay on business-related purchases and expenses. By claiming ITCs, businesses can reduce the amount of GST/HST they owe on their taxable supplies.

How do I calculate and remit GST/HST?

Calculating and remitting GST/HST can be a complex process, as the tax rate and rules can vary depending on the province and the type of transaction. Businesses must ensure they are charging the correct rate of tax, collecting the tax from customers, and remitting it to the government on a regular basis.
