YOUR QUESTIONS
GST/HST FAQs
Useful answers before you get started.
Does every small business need to register for GST/HST?
No. For most businesses, the $30,000 small-supplier threshold is assessed using relevant worldwide taxable revenues, including associated businesses, over a single calendar quarter or four consecutive calendar quarters. Exceptions and different effective-date rules apply. We assess your circumstances before registration. CRA registration rules.
Do Uber or Lyft drivers need to register below $30,000?
Self-employed commercial rideshare drivers must register for GST/HST even if they are small suppliers. The effective date is when taxable passenger transportation services begin. Delivery-only activities need a separate assessment. CRA guidance for rideshare drivers.
Does incorporation automatically complete my GST/HST setup?
No. A business number and corporation income tax account do not, by themselves, confirm GST/HST registration. Check your program-account confirmations and whether your activities require registration. Read our business setup guide.
Can you help with overdue returns or unexplained balances?
Yes. We can compare filed returns, payments and account balances with your records, identify gaps and agree on the work needed. Any corrections or additional filings are discussed with you.
Can you work from my existing bookkeeping?
Yes. We review the available reports and supporting records, then identify any reconciliations or cleanup needed. Ongoing bookkeeping can be included in a separate or combined engagement.
