FAQ

Why is Quebec different for GST/HST and QST?
Quebec administers both GST/HST and QST through Revenu Quebec, so many businesses file a combined return. The process looks different from CRA-only filing.
Can I file QST with CRA?
No. QST is administered by Revenu Quebec. CRA filing is for GST/HST only.
What is the difference between GST collected and ITCs?
GST collected is the tax you charged on sales. ITCs are eligible GST paid on business expenses that reduce what you owe.
What is the difference between QST collected and ITRs?
QST collected is the tax you charged on sales. ITRs are eligible QST paid on business expenses.
Do Uber or taxi fares include GST/QST?
Many platform statements already include tax. Use your statement totals and confirm the tax lines before filing.
Can I file a nil return if I had no sales?
Yes, many registrants file a nil return for a period with no taxable sales. You still submit to stay compliant.
What if I made a mistake after submitting?
You can often adjust or amend a return through official services. Check Revenu Quebec guidance for the correct correction method.
Where do I find my GST (RT) and QST numbers?
Your registration documents and Revenu Quebec account show your business numbers. Keep them handy before filing.
