💼 GST/HST for Businesses: Do You Need to Register?
One of the most common misconceptions among business owners is that GST/HST registration is based on a calendar year. In reality, the CRA looks at your revenue using a rolling 4 consecutive quarter test.
Once your business exceeds $30,000 in taxable revenue, GST/HST registration may be required.
However, not every business follows the same rules.
Some businesses and service providers, such as certain rideshare drivers, commercial real estate operators, landlords, and non-resident digital businesses, may have different registration requirements.
On the other hand, certain services may be exempt from charging GST/HST, including some financial, insurance, healthcare, educational, and transportation services.
