The rate depends on the province where your products are delivered: 5% GST, 13% to 15% HST, and provincial sales tax in some provinces. We help you apply the right rate and file your returns.
How much does an accountant cost for an online store?
Our packages start at $150 per month (bookkeeping, sales tax returns and simplified financial statements), then $250 and $500 per month depending on transaction volume and number of employees. The corporate tax return is $500 + tax for package clients. See our pricing page.
