Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add GST/HST to an invoice?
To add sales tax to an amount, multiply the pre-tax amount by the applicable tax rate percentage, then add that result to the original pre-tax amount. For example, if your service is $100.00 and you operate in Ontario (13% HST):
$100.00 × 0.13 = $13.00 HST. Total invoice is $113.00.
How do I remove tax to find the pre-tax subtotal?
To reverse tax from a total price, divide the total amount by 1 plus the tax rate decimal. For example, if a total is $113.00 in Ontario (13% HST):
$113.00 ÷ 1.13 = $100.00 pre-tax subtotal. The tax portion is $13.00.

What is the CRA sales tax registration threshold?
According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you are generally required to register for a GST/HST account once your taxable sales, services, or supplies exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or across four consecutive calendar quarters. Under this threshold, you are considered a "small supplier" and registration is voluntary.
