Preparation fees
GST/HST return from $175 per filing when reconciled figures are provided.
CAD, plus HST. Business and rental fees assume completed, reconciled bookkeeping. Final scope and fee are confirmed before work begins.
View pricing and conditions →Identify the account and reporting period
GST/HST returns are separate from personal or corporate income tax returns. Provide the business’s GST/HST account information, reporting period and prior return. Filing frequency, elections and the nature of the business’s supplies can affect the calculation and the records needed.
Support the tax calculation with records
Sales records should identify tax charged and the nature of the supplies. Purchase records should support any input tax credits being considered. Personal-use portions, exempt activities and other restrictions can affect eligibility; the GST/HST shown on a receipt is not automatically recoverable.
Tell us about unusual or missing periods
If the business had no activity, missed a filing, changed its operations or received a CRA notice, mention that before preparation begins. A registered business may still need to file for a reporting period with no activity. A correction to a filed return is a different task from preparing an outstanding return.
Clarify the scope alongside income tax
We can discuss GST/HST preparation together with T1/T2125 or T2 work, but the obligations remain separate. Registration questions, elections, prior-period corrections and other additional work are assessed individually. We focus on tax filings and work from organized records rather than providing ongoing bookkeeping.

Common questions
Before you get started
Is GST/HST included automatically in my T1 or T2 filing?
No. GST/HST is a separate return. Let us know you need it so it can be included in the engagement.
Do I still need to file if there were no sales?
A GST/HST registrant generally needs to file for each reporting period, including periods with no activity. The account status and period should be checked.
