 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Waqar, my accountant, and I can't say enough good things about his services. From the very beginning, it was clear that he values professionalism and has a deep understanding of accounting principles. His communication skills are outstanding. Waqar always takes the time to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which has been incredibly helpful for me. Whether it’s through emails or phone calls, he is always responsive and makes it a point to address any questions I have promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark about my finances, which is a huge relief. One of the aspects I appreciate most about Waqar is his punctuality. He consistently meets deadlines, whether it’s for filing taxes or preparing financial reports. I’ve had experiences in the past where accountants would delay tasks, but Waqar has always delivered on time without compromising quality. Overall, I highly recommend Waqar for any accounting needs. His combination of expertise, clear communication, and reliability sets him apart from others in the field.

Got Any Questions?

GST is the federal Goods and Services Tax charged at 5% across Canada. HST combines GST with provincial sales tax into a single harmonized rate. Ontario’s HST rate is 13%, combining 5% federal GST and 8% provincial PST. Businesses registered for HST collect and remit both portions through one return filed with CRA.

Most goods and services sold in Ontario are taxable at 13% HST. However, some items are zero-rated, meaning HST applies at 0%, including basic groceries, prescription medications, and exports. Other supplies are exempt from HST entirely, such as childcare services, medical services, and educational services.

Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% HST, allowing you to claim input tax credits on related expenses. Exempt supplies are not subject to HST, and you cannot claim credits on expenses used to provide them. Understanding this distinction affects your cash flow and credit recovery. We help classify your supplies correctly to maximize eligible credits.

CRA requires businesses to register for HST once taxable revenues exceed $30,000 over four consecutive quarters. Registered businesses must collect HST on taxable sales, maintain proper records for six years, file returns by assigned deadlines, and remit net tax owing. Our Calgary CPAs ensure your business meets all CRA requirements and avoids compliance issues.

Non-residents conducting business in Canada may need to register for HST and file returns with CRA. Foreign business owners can also claim input tax credits on Canadian expenses. US citizens living in Canada have additional obligations including FBAR reporting for foreign accounts.

Yes. CRA allows businesses to request a shorter reporting period for faster input tax credit recovery. Monthly or quarterly filing returns credits sooner than annual filing. You can also request changes if your revenue crosses thresholds that require more frequent reporting.
