Antique & Specialty Retailers Tax FAQs
Do antique dealers need special accounting compared to regular retailers?
Yes, antique and specialty retailers deal with unique inventory, irregular purchases, and variable pricing. Standard retail accounting often doesn’t reflect true margins. We tailor accounting systems specifically for antiques and collectibles.
How is inventory valued for antique items?
Inventory is typically valued at cost, but proper documentation is critical due to unique pricing. We help you track purchase costs, restoration expenses, and inventory movement accurately.
Do I need to charge GST/HST on antique sales?
Most antique and collectible sales are taxable, but exceptions may apply. We ensure GST/HST is applied correctly and input tax credits are claimed properly.
How do you handle consignment inventory?
Consignment items require separate tracking from owned inventory. We set up systems to record sales, commissions, and payouts correctly.
Can I deduct auction fees, show fees, and travel expenses?
Do you help with online antique sales and marketplaces?
What records does CRA expect from antique retailers?
CRA expects clear records of purchases, sales, inventory, and taxes. We maintain clean, audit-ready books that meet CRA standards.
Should my antique business be incorporated?
Can you clean up past bookkeeping issues?
Absolutely. We review past records, correct errors, and amend filings if needed to reduce CRA risk.
