GST/HST for Toronto businesses
Toronto businesses often have GST/HST questions that go beyond one quarterly return: consultants with US clients, rideshare and delivery drivers, landlords with short-term rentals, and restaurants selling through several apps.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA. T-Ledgers is a CPA-led accounting firm practising since 2020. We work online, with offices in Etobicoke and Mississauga by appointment.
Toronto GST/HST situations we handle
← Swipe to compare →
| Local situation | How we handle it | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Rideshare and taxi drivers | Commercial ride-sharing drivers must register from their first fare, whatever their sales. We register you and claim ITCs on the car costs. | CRA: commercial ride-sharing |
| Consultants with clients outside Canada | Many services supplied to non-residents are zero-rated, so no HST is charged but ITCs are still claimed. We check each contract. | Excise Tax Act |
| Short-term rentals | Toronto regulates short-term rentals and charges a municipal accommodation tax. GST/HST is a separate question; we work out whether you need to register. | Toronto licence and permit types |
Law: Excise Tax Act s.240(1.1) (taxi and ride-sharing registration); Excise Tax Act Sch. VI, Part V, s.7 (services supplied to non-residents).
How we work with Toronto clients
Toronto businesses often cross more than one GST/HST rule at once. A consultant may bill local and US clients in the same month, a driver may earn from rideshare and delivery apps, and a landlord may have both long-term and short-term rentals. Each income stream can have a different answer.
We separate those streams in your books, apply the right treatment to each and file from reconciled figures. For drivers we look at whether the quick method saves money. For consultants, we review contracts before invoicing so HST is charged, or not charged, correctly from the start.
GST/HST rules that apply in Ontario
Toronto 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.

GST/HST in Toronto: FAQs
Do you file GST/HST returns for Toronto businesses?
Yes. We register Toronto businesses, file returns from reconciled books and answer CRA letters. We work online, with offices in Etobicoke and Mississauga by appointment.
I drive for Uber in Toronto. Do I need a GST/HST number?
Yes. Commercial ride-sharing drivers must register from their first fare, even below $30,000 in sales. You can then claim input tax credits on your vehicle costs.
Should a Toronto rideshare driver use the quick method?
Often it saves time and money, but not always. We compare the quick method and the regular method on your figures before you elect.
Do I charge HST to a client in another province?
Generally you charge the rate of the province where the service is used. We check the rules for your type of service.
