HST Filing in Toronto

What is HST?

If your company sells taxable items or services in Canada and generates more than $30,000 a year, you must submit HST reports. The harmonized sales tax (HST) is a provincial sales tax that has been combined with the GST. The HST is also a consumption tax in Canada. This tax is paid by the customers of the business. It is used in provinces where both the federal goods and services tax and the regional provincial sales tax have been combined into a single value added sales tax. The HST in Ontario is 13%. Businesses collect HST on sales and remit the HST collected to the CRA after subtracting the HST paid on expenses. HST return is filed as monthly, quarterly and yearly.
HST paid on expenses cannot be claimed as reimbursable. The HST filing requirements are the same for all the businesses except HST registrants who are small suppliers. Small suppliers are not required to collect HST, but they still have to file HST returns every month even if HST was not collected. HST small suppliers are also known as HST exempt persons. HST is based on self-assessment, therefore HST registrants have to file a HST return even if they do not have any HST amount to report for the period. However, HST registrants may apply for rebates of the HST paid or payable resulting from their purchases and expenses.

We understand that some small firms are required to register for HST regardless of their revenue. Our objective is to help you fulfill CRA requirements in your industry and avoid penalties as a result of late or missed filings. TY TAX Accounting is one of the best Toronto accounting firms and offers not only HST filing assistance but other tax services as well.

File your HST Returns on Time

A HST return can be filed quarterly or monthly. HST returns must be submitted on the right date and filing frequency as mentioned below:

  • Firms with annual HST taxable supplies above $2 million file HST returns quarterly
  • Firms with annual HST taxable supplies between $500,001 and $2 million file HST returns monthly

The HST return has to be filed within six months after the end of a quarter and 12 months for monthly filers. If any taxes are due, you need to pay them in full before the filing deadline. You also need to submit your HST return on time even if no taxes are owed. For example, if GST was reported but not HST, you still should report HST and file a return.

Failure to file HST would result in HST penalties as well as interest on late or unpaid balances. HST filings can also attract interest and penalty for late payments. HST returns must be filed electronically through the CRA Webfile program if you have more than $1 million in HST taxable revenue, otherwise they should be submitted using GST/ HST NETFILE software. At TY TAX Accounting Services, we provide exceptional assistance with HST filing and can help you meet your deadlines .
