π’ GST/HST TIP FOR BUSINESS OWNERS π°
Did you know you could be missing out on valuable GST/HST refunds?
Here are some important ITC (Input Tax Credit) rules:
β
Claim GST/HST paid on eligible business expenses such as:
β’ Inventory
β’ Computers & Equipment
β’ Office Furniture
β’ Business Supplies
π New GST/HST Registrants
If you owned business inventory or equipment before registering and still use it in your business, you may be able to claim the GST/HST paid on those items.
β You CANNOT claim GST/HST on services that were completed before your GST/HST registration, such as:
β’ Accounting
β’ Legal Fees
β’ Consulting
β’ Repairs
π’ Prepaid Rent
If you prepaid rent before registering, you can only claim the GST/HST for the period after your registration date.
β³ Forgot to claim an ITC?
Most small businesses have up to 4 years to claim missed GST/HST credits.
π‘ Proper ITC claims can save your business hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
