Goods & Service Tax

Canada’s Goods and Service Tax (GST) is a value added tax at 5% that must be paid on the value cost of goods upon entry into Canada.  This tax is recoverable if treated as a tax input credit.  In order to recover GST you must have a Canada Business Number (BN).  If you have a BN you must also charge GST/HST to your Canadian customers.  You are required to file a return annually, quarterly or monthly depending on your volume.  The HST is Canada’s new harmonized tax that combines both GST and PST (provincial sales tax) which rates can differ from province to province.  Does the GST process seem complicated?  It certainly can be and as a Links client we will help you through this process and can event administrate it on your behalf.  In becoming a client and as a process of discovery we will discuss the best route for you to take when doing business in Canada.  Rest assured we will bring simplicity where there is complexity.  Another LINKs garuntee.
