When Do You Need to Charge GST/HST?
If your business earns more than CA$30,000 in a calendar quarter or four consecutive quarters, you must register for GST/HST with the CRA. Once registered:
- Charge GST/HST on all taxable supplies
- Include your Business Number (BN) on all invoices
- File GST/HST returns (annually, quarterly, or monthly)
- Remit the net tax collected to the CRA
Below $30,000/year, registration is optional — you're considered a "small supplier" and are not required to charge GST/HST.
What Must a Canadian Invoice Include?
- Your business name and contact details
- Business Number (BN) — required if GST/HST registered
- Invoice date and number
- Description of goods/services provided
- Tax amount and rate (GST, HST, PST, or QST as applicable)
- Total amount due including taxes
- Payment terms and accepted payment methods
