The Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) is a value-added tax levied on most goods and services sold in Canada. Businesses that meet certain criteria are required to register for a GST/HST number and collect and remit the tax to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
Registering for a GST/HST number is a relatively straightforward process. You can register online through the CRA’s website or by mail. You will need to provide the CRA with your business information, including your business name, address, and contact information. You will also need to provide your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or Business Number (BN).
