Invoices & payments

Adding GST to invoices

When you need to charge GST and how to turn it on.

In Canada you must register for GST once your business revenue goes over $30,000 in four consecutive quarters. Below that you're a "small supplier" and don't charge GST.

Turning GST on

  1. 1Go to Settings → Business info → Registration & tax.
  2. 2Enter your GST number and save.

From then on, the tax for your province is added to invoices automatically and shown on receipts:

  • 5% GST: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the territories
  • 13% HST: Ontario
  • 14% HST: Nova Scotia
  • 15% HST: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island
  • 5% GST + 9.975% QST: Quebec (add your QST number too)

Your province is set in Settings › Business info.

Good to know

Many health services are GST-exempt. Massage therapy generally isn't, but rules vary by province and profession. Check with your accountant if you're unsure.
