Key Features
How GST/HST + Provincial Sales Tax shapes contracts in Canada
Canada combines a 5% federal GST with provincial tax: HST of 13–15% applies in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, while British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec add separate PST or QST (Quebec's QST is 9.975%).
Invoices must show your Business Number with an RT account, the GST/HST rate and amount, and — in Quebec — the QST registration number and amount.
Worked example. A CA$3,000 invoice in Toronto adds 13% Ontario HST of CA$390 for a CA$3,390 total, whereas the same invoice in Calgary adds only 5% GST of CA$150. Clorefy computes this line for you and shows it in CAD ($).
Registering, filing and staying compliant when you send contracts in Canada
Registration is required once worldwide taxable supplies reach CA$30,000 across four consecutive quarters; smaller suppliers may register voluntarily to claim input tax credits.
The CRA assigns monthly, quarterly or annual GST/HST reporting periods by revenue, while Revenu Québec handles QST returns separately. Returns are administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Revenu Québec.
Clorefy applies the correct provincial GST/HST or PST/QST split and prints your Business Number on every document. The CRA charges a percentage penalty for late returns plus daily compounded interest on outstanding GST/HST.
