Sales tax

Keep sales tax separate, reconciled and filed on time.

GST/HST and BC PST filing support for small businesses that want their sales-tax records aligned with bookkeeping and corporate tax.

Sales tax becomes difficult when the bookkeeping, bank activity and filed returns stop telling the same story. QAC approaches GST/HST and PST as part of the accounting system, not as an isolated form.

For qualifying businesses, sales-tax filings can be coordinated with ongoing bookkeeping or annual year-end work.

Questions

Practical answers before you engage.

General information only. The right treatment depends on the facts of the business and applicable tax rules.

Do all small businesses need to register for GST/HST?

No. Registration depends on the business facts and applicable rules. QAC can review the situation and identify whether registration should be considered.

Is BC PST the same as GST?

No. They are separate tax systems with different rules. A business may have obligations under one, both or neither depending on what it sells and how it operates.
