Two tax agencies on every Laval file
Laval, Quebec's third largest city with 438,366 people in 2021, had 13,650 businesses with employees in Statistics Canada's latest count, led by construction (1,791) and retail (1,639).
Every Laval business deals with two agencies: the CRA for federal corporate tax and payroll deductions, and Revenu Québec for the CO-17, the QST, Quebec payroll and, for most businesses, the GST as well. A retailer lives with the combined 14.975% on every taxable sale and claims refunds for the tax paid on its own purchases. HBT has no Quebec office and works on these files remotely.

Who does a Laval business file GST with?
With Revenu Québec, for most businesses. It administers the GST in Quebec alongside the QST, and a registrant usually files one combined return rather than dealing with the CRA for GST.
