GST/HST Accounting Software for Canada | HelloBooks GST/HST accounting software for Canadian businesses: tax on every invoice and bill, input tax credits tracked, return figures prepared for you to file. Start free.
GST/HST accounting software for Canadian small businesses: GST, HST and provincial sales tax applied on invoices and bills, input tax credits tracked, and return figures prepared for CRA filing.
Sales tax belongs in the ledger, not in a spreadsheet at quarter end. HelloBooks applies GST/HST as you invoice and record bills, tracks input tax credits, and prepares your return figures for you to file with the CRA.
Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.
Canadian sales tax follows four models: GST only (5%, as in Alberta), harmonised HST (13% in Ontario), GST plus a separate provincial sales tax (such as BC PST at 7%), and GST plus Quebec’s QST. HelloBooks applies the right taxes per invoice line and posts each to its own account, so federal and provincial balances never blur together.
Because tax is recorded on each invoice and bill as it is posted, your GST/HST collected and your input tax credits are always current. At period end, HelloBooks prepares the return figures from those balances. You review them and file with the CRA; HelloBooks does not file on your behalf.
When you sell across provinces, place-of-supply rules decide which rate applies. Tax can be set per customer and per line so each sale carries the correct rate. If you use the CRA Quick Method, our guide explains how it differs from the regular method.
