GST/HST for Markham businesses
Markham GST/HST files often belong to IT consultants billing clients in the US and overseas, importers and retailers, and restaurants. Getting zero-rating and import credits right can change the return a lot.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA. T-Ledgers is a CPA-led accounting firm practising since 2020. We work with Markham clients online, with cloud bookkeeping, so you never need to drive across the 401. If you’d rather meet in person, you can book a meeting at our Etobicoke or Mississauga office. Meetings are by appointment only.

Law: Excise Tax Act Sch. VI, Part V, s.7 (services supplied to non-residents); Excise Tax Act s.212 (GST on imported goods).
How we work with Markham clients
For Markham IT consultants, the biggest GST/HST question is usually whether a contract with a foreign client is zero-rated. The answer depends on who the client is and where the service is used, so we check contracts before invoices go out.
Importers and retailers need border GST matched to customs statements, and restaurants need delivery-app payouts reconciled. We file from reconciled books and keep the documents the CRA would ask to see.
GST/HST rules that apply in Ontario
Markham businesses follow the same rules as the rest of Ontario: register once taxable sales pass $30,000, charge 13% HST, claim input tax credits with proper receipts and file on your assigned schedule. Thresholds, filing deadlines and penalties are explained on our GST/HST services page.
Law: Excise Tax Act s.148(1), s.240(1); Excise Tax Act s.165.
