Service Overview

Detailed Scope & Legal Framework

Every operating business in Canada requires an active Business Number (BN) from the Canada Revenue Agency. Operating without the proper tax accounts or failing to collect GST/HST when required can result in retroactive assessments, interest, and substantial penalties. C1 Business Logistics configures your 9-digit BN and registers all necessary program sub-accounts: GST/HST (RT), Payroll Source Deductions (RP), Corporate Income Tax (RC), and Import/Export (RM).

Frequently Asked Questions

When am I legally required to register for GST/HST in Ontario?

You must register for GST/HST as soon as your taxable sales exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters. Voluntary registration before reaching $30,000 is often advantageous to recover 13% HST paid on startup expenses via Input Tax Credits (ITCs).
