When you'll be invoiced

Now that your registration is complete, we'll begin issuing invoices for your monthly subscription. Our invoices are charged on the 1st of each month, based on the work we do for the previous reporting period. For example, if you need to file March's PST return in British Columbia, you'll see the charge on April 1st. This is because we finalise and submit the necessary work in April.

Your monthly subscription fees will be charged to your payment method through Stripe on the 1st of each month. After the payment is processed, you will automatically receive a receipt and a VAT invoice from Stripe.

Invoice Requirements in Canada

You need to let your customers know how GST/HST is being applied to their purchase (included in the price or added separately). Invoices are one way to do this. On every invoice, you have to show the applicable GST/HST rate. You also have to show either:

• The gross price (with the tax included) and an indication that's the case
• The net price and the amount of tax paid/payable

If you're applying HST, indicate that, but don't separate the federal and provincial parts of the HST on the invoice.

If your customer is registered for GST/HST, there's more you need to include on the invoice.

Here's an example of a Canadian GST invoice:

GST/HST Registrations

How often do you have to file a GST/HST return in Canada?

GST/HST returns have three filing frequencies: monthly, quarterly and annually.

In some cases, annual filers may need to make quarterly instalment payments if:

• Your net tax for your first fiscal year is $3,000 or more
• Your net tax for your next fiscal year is $3,000 or more
• Your first fiscal year after registering is less than 12 months

When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a Public Holiday recognised by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the payment is considered on time if the CRA receives it or if it is postmarked on or before the next business day.

Non-residents registered for GST are usually required by the CRA to pay a security deposit equal to 50% of you estimated net tax (minimim of $5,000, maximum of $1,000,000). You're exempt from this if you meet these two criteria:

• Your annual taxables Canadian sales will be $100,000 or less
• Your annual net tax (GST/HST collected minus input tax credits) will fall between $3,000 refundable and $3,000 remittable
