Maximising Your Input Tax Credits
An ITC is the HST you paid on business expenses that you recover from CRA. Most businesses under-claim ITCs — costing them real money every filing period.
Operating Expenses
Office rent and utilities, telephone and internet, office supplies, cleaning and maintenance — all attract 13% Ontario HST that is fully recoverable as ITCs for HST-registered businesses.
Equipment & Technology
Computers, servers, machinery, tools and equipment purchased for business use — the 13% HST paid is fully recoverable as an ITC in the period of purchase.
Vehicle Expenses
HST on vehicle purchases and operating costs is recoverable based on the business use percentage. We calculate the correct ITC claim and document the business use portion properly.
Professional & Advertising
Legal fees, accounting fees, marketing and advertising services — all HST paid to Canadian suppliers on business-purpose expenses is recoverable as an ITC.
Capital Property
HST paid on capital property — commercial real estate, large equipment and significant improvements to business property — is recoverable, subject to recapture and change of use rules.
Business Travel
Domestic airfare, hotel accommodation, meals (50% of HST) and ground transportation incurred for business travel within Canada — all carry recoverable ITCs when properly documented.
ITC Documentation Requirement: CRA requires original invoices showing the supplier's name, GST/HST registration number, the total amount paid and the HST amount to support all ITC claims. We advise you on proper record-keeping practices to ensure every ITC you claim survives a CRA audit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Ontario businesses about virtual GST/HST filing and compliance.
When does my Ontario business need to register for GST/HST?
You must register for GST/HST once your total taxable revenues exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over any four consecutive calendar quarters. Once you cross this threshold you must register within 29 days and begin charging 13% Ontario HST on all taxable supplies. Voluntary registration below $30,000 is permitted and often beneficial — it allows you to claim ITCs on business expenses even before your revenue crosses the threshold.
Can a Toronto CPA file my HST return if my business is in Ottawa or Hamilton?
Yes. HST returns are filed electronically with CRA — your CPA does not need to be in the same city or province as your business. Gondaliya CPA serves HST-registered businesses across Ontario and Canada entirely virtually, with the same licensed CPA team and the same flat-fee pricing regardless of your location.
What is the Quick Method of accounting for HST?
The Quick Method is a simplified approach to calculating HST that allows eligible small businesses to remit a fixed percentage of their HST-included sales rather than tracking ITCs on every purchase. For many service businesses, the Quick Method results in lower net remittances than the regular method. It is only available to businesses with annual taxable revenues under $400,000. We assess whether it is beneficial for your business and file the election with CRA if it saves you money.
What happens if I miss an HST filing deadline?
CRA charges a late filing penalty of 1% of your net tax owing plus 0.25% for each complete month the return is late — up to 12 months maximum. Interest accrues daily on any outstanding balance. If you have missed a deadline, file as soon as possible to stop the accumulation of penalties and interest. We can file late returns and, where eligible, apply for penalty and interest relief under CRA's Taxpayer Relief provisions.
Does HST apply to my business even if most of my customers are outside Ontario?
HST place of supply rules determine which province's rate applies based on where the supply is made — not where the supplier is located. Ontario HST of 13% applies when the supply is deemed made in Ontario. Supplies made to customers in other provinces may attract that province's HST rate or GST only. Exports to non-residents outside Canada are generally zero-rated — no HST charged but ITCs still claimed on related expenses. We apply place of supply rules correctly for every client.
What records do I need to keep to support my ITC claims?
CRA requires that all ITC claims be supported by original invoices containing the supplier's business name, GST/HST registration number, the invoice date, a description of the goods or services, the total amount charged and the HST amount. Receipts must be retained for six years from the end of the fiscal year to which they relate. We advise all clients on proper record-keeping practices and use Hubdoc to automate receipt capture and storage.
What is a CRA HST audit and how do you help?
A CRA HST audit is a review of your HST account — CRA examines your sales records, purchase invoices and ITC claims to verify the accuracy of your returns. Audits can result in reassessments, penalties and interest if errors are found. As part of our virtual GST/HST service, CRA audit support is included at no extra charge. We respond to CRA correspondence directly, provide all supporting documentation and represent your business through the full audit process virtually.
Is the 60-Day Fees-Matching Policy available for HST filing?
Yes — if you receive a written quote from any other licensed CPA firm for the same scope of GST/HST filing work, we will match it within 60 days of engaging us. We have 100% trust in our lowest fees offering — which is why we offer Fees-Matching. This applies to all virtual clients across Ontario and Canada.
