New Brunswick's largest city, and still growing

Moncton is New Brunswick's largest city: 79,470 people in 2021, up 10.5% from 2016. Statistics Canada's latest count found 3,167 businesses with employees there, led by health care (473), retail (394) and professional services (292).

A growing business eventually has to think about how often it files HST. The CRA assigns a reporting period from annual taxable sales: annual up to $1,500,000, quarterly up to $6,000,000, and monthly above that. A business can choose to file more often, and one that is owed refunds, as many are while they set up, gets its money back sooner by doing so. HBT works from Calgary and handles Moncton files remotely.

Common question

How often does a Moncton business file HST returns?

That depends on annual taxable sales. Up to $1,500,000 the CRA assigns an annual return, though the business can elect quarterly or monthly; above that and up to $6,000,000 it files quarterly, or monthly by election; above $6,000,000 it files monthly. An annual filer whose net tax for the year is $3,000 or more also pays quarterly instalments.
