Across St. John's, Mount Pearl, Corner Brook and the wider Newfoundland and Labrador market, the products most businesses are already running are the ones worth comparing against first.
Partly. Newfoundland and Labrador uses the HST model — HST (federal + Newfoundland & Labrador provincial portion, combined) 0.15%, 0.15% combined. One harmonised tax is charged and filed federally, so there is no separate provincial return. The national GST/HST rules are the same wherever you are registered, so the software shortlist barely moves — what moves is the configuration. Anything you choose has to handle hst · 0.15% combined correctly on every invoice without you remembering to set it per transaction.
Supplies with a place of supply in Newfoundland and Labrador are taxed at 0.15% (HST (federal + Newfoundland & Labrador provincial portion, combined) 0.15%). One harmonised tax is charged and filed federally, so there is no separate provincial return. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is the authority to check for anything region-specific — see https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/gst-hst-account/register-account.html.
Pricing is national, not regional: $20 and $50 per month, billed annually, in CAD, plus a free tier. Prices are in CAD and exclude GST/HST/QST, which is applied at your place of supply. Prices are per organisation with unlimited users, so a business in Newfoundland and Labrador pays the same as one anywhere else in Canada.
In practice the shortlist here is usually QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave — those are the products with the most local install base and the most CPAs who already know them. That familiarity is a genuine cost saving, and it is the main reason to stay put if nothing else is broken.
Yes, and at no extra cost. Advisors get their own login with their own permissions, and the seat is free — so bringing in a Newfoundland and Labrador-based CPA does not change your bill. That matters most where the advisor relationship, not the software, is the real switching cost.
Each market has its own tax regime, currency, and shortlist of incumbents. Switch to the one where your business is registered.
