GST/QST registration: what you need to know

As soon as your taxable sales exceed $30,000 in a calendar quarter or over the previous four quarters, your business must register for GST and QST accounts and collect the taxes on its sales. Registration is done with Revenu Québec, which administers both taxes for businesses located in Quebec.

We take care of everything: you pay online — $140 for the GST/QST registration, or $195 for the Complete package with source deductions — then we collect your information by email, with no form to fill out. Your registration is completed within 7 to 10 business days with Revenu Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency.

When do I have to register for GST/QST?
Registration becomes mandatory when your taxable sales exceed $30,000 in a calendar quarter or over the last four quarters. You can also register voluntarily before reaching that threshold, notably to recover the taxes paid on your business purchases.
What is the difference between the GST/QST package and the Complete package?
The GST/QST package ($140) covers registration for the sales tax accounts. The Complete package ($195) adds registration for the source deductions accounts, provincial and federal — required as soon as your company pays wages, including to yourself as a shareholder-director.
How long does the registration take?
Allow 7 to 10 business days after your payment. We write to you by email to collect the required information, then complete the registration with Revenu Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency, and confirm your tax numbers.
