Frequently Asked Questions
What sales taxes apply to invoices in Ontario?
In Ontario, invoices are subject to HST with a combined effective rate of 13%. Ontario combines 5% federal GST and 8% provincial tax into a single 13% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) on invoices.
Do I have to register for GST/HST if I am a small business in Ontario?
Under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) rules, you qualify as a "small supplier" and do not have to register or charge GST/HST if your gross worldwide taxable revenues are $30,000 or less over 4 consecutive calendar quarters. Once you exceed $30,000, registration is mandatory.
What information is legally required on a Canadian invoice for Input Tax Credits (ITCs)?
For transactions over $150, the CRA requires: supplier's legal name, date, invoice total, purchaser's name, description of supplies, payment terms, clear tax breakdown (or rate), and the supplier's 9-digit Business Number with GST/HST account identifier (e.g. 123456789 RT 0001).
How do place-of-supply rules affect invoicing clients outside Ontario?
Under CRA place-of-supply guidelines, the sales tax rate you charge depends on where the service is received by the client (or where goods are delivered). If you are based in Ontario but supply services to a client in another province, you generally charge the tax rate applicable in the client's province.
