QST accounting software for Quebec sellers

Charge QST and GST on every Quebec invoice, keep the two taxes on separate accounts, and have both sets of return figures ready. Start free: C$0, no credit card.

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

QST on invoices and bills

QST is 9.975% and is administered by Revenu Québec, separately from the 5% federal GST. HelloBooks applies both taxes to each Quebec line, records the QST and GST you pay on purchases as input tax refunds and input tax credits, and keeps each tax on its own account.

You file the QST return with Revenu Québec and the GST/HST return with the CRA; HelloBooks prepares the figures. This page is general information, not tax advice.

Customers outside Quebec

QST applies when the place of supply is Quebec. For customers in other provinces, HelloBooks applies the rate for their province instead.
