GST/HST invoice template for Canada

Your business customers can only claim back the GST or HST you charge if your invoice shows what the Canada Revenue Agency asks for, and that depends on the amount. This template opens set up for Canada: your GST/HST number, tax at Ontario's 13% HST (change it for your province), and amounts in Canadian dollars.

What the invoice must show

Under $100: your business or trading name, the date and the total.
$100 to $499.99: also your GST/HST registration number, the GST or HST charged (or that the price includes it, with the rate), and which items are taxable if some are not.
$500 or more: also your customer's name, a brief description of what you supplied, and the terms of payment.

How this template is set up

Your GST/HST number in your business details.
HST at 13%, for Ontario. Change the tax name and rate to match where you supply: GST 5%, or HST 14% or 15%.
Amounts in Canadian dollars (CAD).

The template has one tax line. Where you charge GST plus a provincial tax shown separately (QST in Quebec, PST in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan), it fits GST-only invoices; show the provincial tax on a separate invoice line or use your accounting software.

Not registered? If you are a small supplier and not registered, do not charge GST or HST and do not show a registration number. Untick the tax option.

Questions

Which rate do I charge?

The rate of the province or territory where the supply is made, usually where your customer is. A consultant in Alberta billing a client in Ontario usually charges 13% HST.

What does a GST/HST number look like?

Your nine-digit business number followed by RT and four digits, for example 123456789 RT0001.

Do I need to register?

Not until your taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, but you can register earlier to claim input tax credits.
