Overview
Register for GST in Canada Fast, Simple, and Stress-Free
Bestax helps small businesses and entrepreneurs across Canada make GST compliance simple.
We specialize in GST number registration, guiding you through CRA requirements step by step: no confusion, no guesswork, o hidden fees. Across Canada, including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and the territories, businesses must collect the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at a federal rate of 5%. If your taxable sales exceed $30,000 in one quarter or over four quarters, you must register for a GST account. Even if you earn less, you can register voluntarily to claim input tax credits on business expenses. At Bestax, we guide you through every step. We check your eligibility, file your application, and help you start charging and remitting GST correctly. Whether you’re launching or expanding your business, we make GST registration simple, fast, and stress-free.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what clients ask us most about gst registration. Still stuck? Send us the question.
Who needs a GST number?
Any business that makes taxable sales and exceeds the small-supplier threshold must register for GST.
Do ride-sharing and taxi drivers need to register?
Yes. Taxi operators and ride-sharing drivers must register for GST/HST, even if their revenue is below the small-supplier limit.
Can I register voluntarily?
If your business revenue is under $30,000, you may choose to register for GST voluntarily.
What information do I need to register for GST?
You’ll need personal details (name, SIN, date of birth, postal code) and business details (business name, type, addresses, and activities).
How do I register for GST?
The fastest method is through the CRA’s Business Registration Online service. You can also register by phone or mail, but Bestax handles the online process for you to ensure your GST account is set up correctly.
What is a Business Number (BN)?
A BN is a unique 9-digit identifier for your business, required before opening a GST account. Bestax can obtain your BN on your behalf as part of the registration process.
What is the effective date of registration?
For mandatory registrations, the effective date is the day you exceed the small-supplier threshold. For voluntary registrations, the effective date is usually the date of application, or up to 30 days earlier.
What are input tax credits (ITCs)?
ITCs allow registered businesses to recover GST paid on eligible purchases. Bestax helps you track expenses and claim ITCs properly, reducing your net tax payable.
Do I need separate GST accounts for each province?
No. A single GST account covers federal GST. However, if you operate in a province with its own provincial sales tax, you may need a separate provincial account. Bestax can advise you on your specific situation.
What happens after I register for GST?
Once you receive your GST number, you must charge GST on taxable sales, file periodic returns, and remit collected tax. Bestax provides ongoing support to ensure compliance and help you maximize input tax credits.
