📋 Frequently Asked Questions
Short answer: It depends on whether you have “nexus” (physical presence) in the buyer’s province.
For GST/HST, you generally charge the rate of your province unless you’re registered in another province. For provinces with separate PST (BC, SK, MB, QC), you only charge PST if you have a physical presence there [citation].
💡 Many small businesses only register in their home province until they exceed $30,000 in sales to a specific province.
HST (Harmonized Sales Tax): A single tax collected by the federal government, then the provincial portion is remitted to the province. Used in NB, NL, NS, ON, PEI.
GST+PST (separate): Two separate taxes – GST is federal, PST is provincial. You file GST with CRA and PST separately with the province (e.g., BC, SK, MB, QC) [citation].
✅ Yes – if you’re a registered GST/HST business, you can claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) for the GST/HST you paid on business expenses. This includes inventory, equipment, rent, and operating costs [CRA].
⚠️ For PST provinces, you generally cannot claim PST back (except in Quebec with QST).
✅ Yes – digital products (e-books, software, streaming, online courses) are generally taxable. GST/HST applies, and provinces like BC, MB, SK, and QC now tax digital services [citation].
💡 Manitoba’s RST now applies to cloud computing and digital subscriptions as of 2026.
For most businesses, the GST/HST return is due one month after the end of your fiscal year. For individuals and sole proprietors, the deadline is typically June 15 (same as personal tax), but any balance owing is due April 30 [CRA].
