CRA Rules for Invoicing in Canada (GST / HST)
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires businesses with revenues over $30,000 CAD across four calendar quarters to register for GST/HST. Your invoice must clearly state:
- Your legal business name and 9-digit CRA Business Number (BN / GST/HST account number).
- Invoice date and billing reference.
- Provincial tax breakdown: HST (13% in Ontario; 15% in Atlantic provinces) or GST (5% in Alberta, BC, Quebec, etc.).
- Clear statement of total payable in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
