Taxes

Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)

HST applies to almost all goods and services supplied in Canada. If your business provides HST-taxable goods or services and has annual gross sales of $30,000 or more, you are required to register, collect, and remit HST. If your sales are estimated to be less than $30,000 per year, registration is not mandatory but may be done voluntarily.

Registration for a HST Number is free of charge:

• By telephone at 1.800.959.5525

• By mailing or faxing a Request for a Business Number (Form RC1) to the Windsor Tax Services Office

• Online at www.cra-arc.gc.ca
