HST

When to register for and start charging the GST/HST

 

The harmonized sales tax (HST) is a consumption tax in Canada. It is used in provinces where both the federal goods and services tax (GST) and the regional provincial sales tax (PST) have been combined into a single value added sales tax.

 You do not exceed the $30,000 threshold over 4 consecutive calendar quarters. 


THEN

 

You do not have to register. You may choose to register voluntarily if you make taxable sales, leases,or other supplies in Canada.  Your effective date of registration is usually the day you request your GST/HST account (or up to 30 days before that day).

You must register for the GST/HST.
