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.
