What to Include on a Canadian Invoice
A Canadian invoice should include your legal business name and address, your GST/HST registration number (if registered), the client's name and address, the invoice date, a description of goods or services, the amount before tax, the applicable tax breakdown (GST, PST, HST), and the total amount including tax. Include your province of supply as it determines the applicable tax rates.
Tips for Canadian Invoicing
Know your provincial tax obligations — HST provinces (Ontario, Nova Scotia, etc.) have a single combined tax, while other provinces require separate GST and PST. Register for a BN with the CRA if your revenue exceeds $30,000 in any four consecutive quarters. Keep all invoices and receipts for at least 6 years for CRA audit purposes. Consider using the Quick Method of accounting for HST if your revenue is under $400,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
What taxes should I charge on Canadian invoices?
It depends on your province. HST applies in Ontario (13%), Nova Scotia (15%), New Brunswick (15%), Newfoundland (15%), and PEI (15%). In BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec, charge GST (5%) plus the applicable PST. Alberta, NWT, Nunavut, and Yukon only charge GST (5%).
When do I need to register for GST/HST?
You must register if your worldwide taxable revenues exceed $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters or in a single quarter. Small suppliers below this threshold can register voluntarily, which allows them to claim input tax credits.
What are standard payment terms in Canada?
Net 30 is the most common term in Canada. Some industries use Net 15 or Net 60. Canadian provinces have prompt payment legislation for construction (Ontario's Construction Act requires payment within 28 days of a proper invoice). Always state your payment terms clearly on the invoice.
