Due one month after the end of each reporting period.
Example: Reporting period of July 1st to July 31st requires filing and payment by August 31st.
Quarterly Filers:
Due one month after the end of each quarter.
Example: Reporting period of January 1st to March 31st requires filing and payment by April 30th.

FAQ:

What is HST Filing?

HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is a value-added tax used in Canada, combining federal and provincial sales taxes. It applies to businesses selling taxable goods or services and is paid by the consumer. Businesses are required to collect HST and remit it to the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency), after subtracting any HST paid on business expenses.

Who Needs to Submit an HST Return?

Any business operating in Canada with taxable goods or services and earning over $30,000 in revenue must file an HST return.

When is HST Filing Due?

Your HST filing deadline depends on your reporting period. For monthly and quarterly filers, the return is due one month after the end of each period. Annual filers with a fiscal year-end on December 31st must submit their HST return by June 15th, while other annual filers have up to 3 months after their fiscal year-end to file.

How Do I File HST?

After registering for an HST number and identifying your reporting periods, you can select an accounting method that suits your business. Your accounting method will help you calculate your HST remittances and ensure compliance with CRA guidelines.

Once calculated, you can file your HST return online or by mail to the CRA. If your business qualifies for HST credits, you can deduct them from the amount you owe.

Where Do I File My HST Return?

HST returns can be filed online through your CRA My Business Account or mailed using Form GST34-2, available through the CRA.
