What GST/HST means on an invoice
GST/HST is Canada's federal sales tax system, with details that can vary by province and business situation. If you are registered, your invoice records need enough information for the customer and for tax records.
What a Canadian invoice record usually includes
Keep the invoice understandable: who sold the service, who bought it, what was supplied, when it was supplied, the total, the tax charged, and the business number where required.
- Your business name.
- Your business number where applicable.
- The invoice date and a unique invoice number.
- A clear description of the goods or services.
- The GST/HST amount or enough detail to calculate it.
If you are a small supplier
Some businesses do not need to register until they pass the small supplier threshold. Do not charge GST/HST unless you are registered or required to collect it.
