Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so the only sales tax on your home-province sales is the federal GST, administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). That means one registration, one return and one set of due dates.
HelloBooks applies GST per invoice line, records GST on your purchases as input tax credits, and prepares your GST return figures from the posted entries. You file with the CRA.
Simple at home does not mean simple everywhere. When you bill a customer in an HST province or a GST-plus-PST province, place-of-supply rules decide the rate. HelloBooks lets you set tax per customer and per line, so each sale carries the rate that applies to it.
Free is a permanent plan built to keep real books, not a trial.
