CRA TAX PROBLEM RESOLUTION

SALES TAX (PST, GST, HST)

We can assist you in determining if you are required to be an HST registrant. We can help you determine your filing frequency based on your business needs. Choosing between the quick and regular methods can affect the operating cash flows of your business. We can help to determine what is eligible to be used as an input tax credit and ensuring you claim them to the maximum.

WHAT IS THE TIME LIMIT TO CLAIM YOUR ITCS?

Registrants generally claim their input tax credits (ITCs) when they file their GST/HST return for the reporting period in which they made their purchases. However, you may have ITCs that you did not claim when you filed your return.

Most registrants can claim those ITCs in any future reporting period that is within four years of the reporting period in which the ITC could have first been claimed. The time limit for claiming ITCs is reduced to two years for:

• listed financial institutions (other than a corporation that is considered to be a financial institution because it has an election in effect to have certain supplies deemed to be exempt financial services); and
• persons with annual revenues from taxable supplies of goods and services of more than $6 million for each of the two preceding fiscal years.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU KEEP YOUR BOOKS AND RECORDS?

We use books and records to refer to various documents detailing your income and expenses. Usually, you have to keep all sales and purchase invoices and other records for your business operations and GST/HST for six years from the end of the year to which they relate. However, we may ask you to keep the invoices for longer than six years.
