Did you get accidentally charged GST/HST during the 2024-2025 Winter tax holiday? You might be owed a rebate!
If you bought qualifying items during Canada's recent GST/HST break (December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025) but the retailer mistakenly charged you tax anyway, you can get that money back from the CRA using Form GST189 (Reason Code 1C).
But before you file, you need to check if you qualify.
The Checklist: Can You Apply?
You are eligible for the rebate only if all of the following are true:
• You were incorrectly charged GST/HST on a qualifying item between Dec 14, 2024, and Feb 15, 2025.
• You tried to get a refund directly from the store/supplier, but they couldn't or wouldn't give it to you.
• The item was paid for in full during that exact holiday window.
• The item was delivered, shipped, or made available to you during that same window.
Important Exceptions to Keep in Mind:
For Businesses: If you accidentally collected GST/HST from customers when you shouldn't have, do not file a rebate. Instead, you must credit your customer back, issue a credit note, and adjust Line 107 on your next GST/HST return.
For Imports: If the tax error happened at the border on imported commercial goods, the process involves adjusting your CBSA Commercial Accounting Declaration (CAD) first before hitting the CRA for the rebate.
No Double Dipping: If you already claimed an Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the amount, or if you've already been credited back by the store, you cannot claim the rebate.
Tax rules around holidays and imports get complicated fast. Don't leave your money sitting with the CRA, and don't risk a compliance headache by filing the wrong paperwork!

Did you know your business may be eligible for GST/HST rebates?
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers a wide range of GST/HST rebate programs that can help recover taxes paid on certain goods and services.
Here are a few common scenarios where rebates may apply:
• Amounts paid in error
• Exported commercial goods or artistic works
• Certain investment plans
• Travel expenses for qualifying organizations
• First-time home buyers (specific conditions apply)
After you apply:
Your rebate claim will be assessed, and a Notice of Assessment will be issued—usually through your My Business Account. Make sure email notifications are enabled so you don’t miss important updates.
Important reminder:
The CRA may hold your rebate if there are outstanding filings under acts like the Excise Tax Act or Income Tax Act. Staying compliant ensures faster processing.
Need to correct a past claim?
You may be eligible to update it through the Voluntary Disclosures Program and potentially avoid penalties.
Navigating GST/HST rebates can be complex—but you don’t have to do it alone.

Important Update for Canadian Business Owner - Is your business growing? It might be time to talk about the GST/HST.
The CRA has recently updated its registration processes, and there’s a major deadline approaching that every entrepreneur needs to know. Here’s the breakdown:
Starting November 3, 2025, the CRA will no longer accept Business Number (BN) or program account registrations over the phone. Everything is moving to the Business Registration Online (BRO) portal.
Tip: If you have a SIN starting with 9, you can now use the BRO service to get your business number and GST/HST account instantly!
Do You Need to Register?
You are generally required to register for a GST/HST account if you make taxable sales in Canada and are not a “small supplier” with the $30,000 Rule:
You stop being a small supplier if your total taxable revenues exceed $30,000 in:
• A single calendar quarter (Register immediately!)
• Four consecutive calendar quarters (Register by the end of the month following the quarter you crossed the limit.)
Why Voluntary Registration?
Even if you earn less than $30,000, you can choose to register voluntarily. This allows you to claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) to recover the GST/HST you pay on your business expenses.
Don't Get Caught by Effective Dates
Timing is everything. If you cross the threshold, your effective registration date is often the day of the sale that pushed you over $30,000. Missing this window can lead to penalties and back-taxes.
Feeling overwhelmed by the math?
Don't wait until the CRA sends a letter. Let us help you review your quarterly earnings and handle the online registration for you.

Understanding the GST/HST - Is your business still a "Small Supplier"?
If you’ve been watching your revenue grow, you might be closer to the GST/HST finish line than you think. The CRA is clear: once you cross that $30,000 threshold, the rules change—and fast.
The Quick Breakdown:
• Under $30k: You’re likely a "small supplier." Registration is optional.
• Over $30k in ONE quarter: You stop being a small supplier immediately. You must charge GST/HST on the very sale that put you over the limit.
• Over $30k over FOUR quarters: You have until the end of the month following that fourth quarter to register.
Important Update: Starting November 3, 2025, the CRA is ending business registration by phone. Everything is moving to the Business Registration Online (BRO) system.
Don't wait for an audit to find out you should have been charging tax. Let’s look at your last four quarters together and make sure you're compliant.
