Do I need to register for GST/HST?
Enter your taxable sales for each of the last four calendar quarters. Nothing you type leaves this page.

| Last four quarters | $27,600 |

Under the $30,000 threshold, with $2,400 to go.
Under CRA rules you stop being a small supplier when taxable sales pass $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters. Check the CRA's "When to register" page for your situation.
How the threshold works
You're a small supplier, and don't have to register, while your worldwide taxable sales stay at $30,000 or less in any single calendar quarter and over the last four consecutive calendar quarters. Once you pass it, you have to register and start charging GST/HST.
One big exception: if you drive a taxi or for a rideshare app, you have to register from your first fare, even under $30,000.
The rules have details this checker doesn't cover, such as which sales count as taxable and when registration takes effect. Read the CRA's "When to register for and start charging the GST/HST" page, or ask an accountant, before you decide.
