E-commerce accounting for Canadian sellers

Online sales ship everywhere, and the tax follows the customer. HelloBooks applies the rate for each customer’s province and records your stock and fees as bills. Start free: C$0, no credit card.

Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.

Cross-province sales and place of supply

For goods, the GST/HST rate generally follows where the goods are delivered. A shipment to Ontario carries HST; one to Alberta carries GST only. See the place-of-supply guide for the rules, and set the tax per customer and per line in HelloBooks.

Stock, shipping and platform fees go in as bills, with the GST/HST you paid recorded as input tax credits.

GST/HST on every line

Once you are registered, add your GST/HST number and HelloBooks applies GST, HST, or GST plus the provincial tax to each line based on where the sale is made. The tax you pay on business purchases is recorded as input tax credits.

HelloBooks prepares your GST/HST return figures from posted invoices and bills; you file them with the CRA. This page is general information, not tax advice.
