GST returns prepared from reconciled records
A GST or HST return is only as reliable as the bookkeeping behind it. HBT prepares the return from reconciled records, checks input tax credits against source documents, and tells you what the filing position is before it is submitted.
We work with businesses that file monthly, quarterly, or annually, and with owners who have fallen behind and want the account brought current. Where the account is in arrears we explain the position, the options, and what each one costs before any paid work begins.
What a GST engagement covers
Return preparation
Prepare the return for the reporting period from reconciled records and confirm the numbers with you before filing.
Input tax credit review
Check claimed credits against invoices and receipts so the position is supportable if it is ever reviewed.
Registration and accounts
Set up or correct the GST account, reporting period, and filing frequency where that is the issue.
How the work begins
Step 1: Confirm the account and periods
Review the GST number, filing frequency, periods outstanding, and any notices already received.
Step 2: Reconcile before filing
Bring the records for the period to a state where the return can be supported by documents.
Step 3: File and document
Submit the return, record what was filed and why, and set the reminder for the next period.
