Tax and registration in Canada
GST/HST in Canada is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and it is worth confirming your current obligations there rather than relying on a figure stored in any software — rates and registration thresholds change.
If you are registered, show GST/HST as a separate line on every receipt and include your business number. If you are not registered, do not add GST/HST — collecting tax you cannot remit is a compliance problem rather than a formatting choice.
Businesses trading in Canada are normally incorporated or registered through Corporations Canada or your provincial registry. Quoting your registration number alongside your business number tends to speed up approval with corporate and government customers, who often will not process a receipt without both.
Frequently asked questions
What currency are receipts issued in for Canada?
Receipts in Canada are typically issued in dollars (CAD). TopwebSuite supports CAD and 100+ currencies, so you can receipt any payment you take.
What's the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice requests payment; a receipt confirms payment was received. In Canada, you'd send an invoice first and issue a receipt once the customer pays.
Is the Canada receipt generator free?
Yes. Create, download and share CAD receipts for free on the web or the TopwebSuite Android app.
Who administers GST/HST in Canada?
GST/HST in Canada is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Rates and registration thresholds change, so confirm your current position with them or your accountant rather than relying on a software default.
Do I need a registration number on a Canada receipt?
Your business number is expected if you are registered for GST/HST. Including your company registration number from Corporations Canada or your provincial registry as well tends to speed up processing with corporate and government customers, who frequently require both before paying.
