HST and GST, tracked all year long
Sales tax is not a once a year job. It is the running total behind every sale you make and every expense you pay. We keep that total accurate day to day so nothing slips: the tax you collect is recorded correctly, the input tax credits you can claim are captured, and your accounts reconcile. This is the ongoing tracking side of your books. When the return is due, everything is already in order and ready to hand off for filing.
All of it lives in QuickBooks Online. We work exclusively in QuickBooks Online and onboard every client onto it, so your HST and GST is tracked continuously in one clean, connected system rather than reconstructed from a shoebox at deadline.

When HST and GST tracking begins
If your business earns more than a set amount in taxable revenue, you are no longer a small supplier and you have to register for a GST and HST account, start charging the tax, and track it. Below that amount, registration is optional. Once you register, accurate ongoing tracking is what keeps you compliant and keeps every credit you are owed on the books.
The $30,000 small supplier threshold. The Canada Revenue Agency treats you as a small supplier until your total taxable revenues (before expenses) are more than $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters. Once you pass that, you must register and begin charging and tracking the tax.
