GST/HST Returns & Reconciliation
A GST/HST return reports the sales tax you collected and the input tax credits you can claim on business costs. Most businesses must register once taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive quarters. We prepare and file your returns from reconciled books, on your monthly, quarterly or annual schedule.

Your starting point
Your GST/HST filing needs to reflect the sales, purchases and payments recorded throughout the reporting period.
How we help
We review transaction coding and supporting invoices, assess relevant input tax credit information, reconcile balances and prepare the agreed returns. Registration, overdue periods and identified corrections can be scoped separately.
What you can expect
A clearer reconciliation between your records and filing figures, with outstanding actions identified.
THE DETAIL BEHIND THE WORK
More than a task.
A clearer position.
A return depends on more than a total from the bank account. Sales, purchases, adjustments and prior-period information need to be reviewed in the context of your registration and reporting period. We help bring the records and the return together.
Who this is for. For registered businesses that need recurring filing support, have reconciliation differences, or want to discuss registration or a previously filed return.
Supported figures
Review sales-tax coding, supporting purchase records and potential input tax credit issues.
Reconciliation and follow-up
Compare the return with the bookkeeping and identify differences that need correction or further investigation.

GST/HST returns and reconciliation
An HST return is only as good as the books behind it.
These are the HST problems we see most, and how each one is handled.
-
The problem
You file, but you're not sure the number is right.
HST collected and input tax credits often don't tie back to the books.
The solutionReconciled returns
We reconcile HST to the books before each return, so the number can be explained.
-
The problem
Input tax credits get missed.
Without the right records, HST you paid on business costs is lost.
The solutionCredits supported by records
We check that each credit you claim has the documents behind it.
-
The problem
You're not sure how often you should file.
Filing frequency depends on your revenue and your registration, and it can change as you grow.
The solutionYour dates set out
We confirm your reporting period and keep the return and payment dates on a calendar.
-
The problem
Old periods were never filed.
Missing returns lead to estimates, penalties and interest.
The solutionCatch-up filing
We rebuild the missing periods from your records and bring the account up to date.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU START
Common questions.
Have a question about your own situation? Let’s discuss it.
Is every amount paid to a supplier an input tax credit?
No. Eligibility and documentation must be reviewed. The CRA requires supporting records for input tax credit claims; a payment on a bank statement alone does not establish every required detail.
Can you help with an older return?
Yes. We review the period, the original filing and the available records before discussing whether and how a correction is needed.
Will the same approach apply to every business?
No. Registration, transaction type, reporting method and the facts matter. We review your situation rather than applying a blanket rate or treatment.
