This allows you to obtain a refund of the taxes you paid on purchases of goods or services for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-increase-your-company-s-credibility\">Increase your company&#8217;s credibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Charging and collecting GST and QST can help build your company&#8217;s credibility. In fact, being registered for GST\/QST gives a clue as to your sales, generally in excess of $30,000. For some current or future customers, this can be significant. If your sales revenue is less than $30,000, you&#8217;re considered a <a>small supplier<\/a>, which relieves you of certain obligations such as collecting taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-simplify-management-and-customer-relations\">Simplify management and customer relations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your sales increase, you should think about registering your business for GST\/QST. Because, if your business income exceeds $30,000, you&#8217;ll have to start billing and collecting taxes. Some of your customers may be unhappy, especially if this happens mid-year or during a fixed-term contract. The earlier you start charging GST and QST, the less of a surprise it will be for your customers&#8230; and the better your relationship will be with them.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='page'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_page container_template--s-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"page_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"90592\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eligibility-criteria-for-obtaining-a-gst-qst-number\">Eligibility criteria for obtaining a GST\/QST number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to be aware of the various eligibility criteria before registering for taxes.
