Three prices, because there are three kinds of return
A GST return on reconciled books with one revenue stream is not the same job as one spanning several provinces with mixed supplies. HBT prices them apart. A basic return starts at $175, a standard return at $250 and a complex return at $350.
Registering for the first time starts at $150. Where a period has been missed, or the input tax credits on file do not reconcile, a GST review starts at $250 and is quoted before the filing work begins.

Service scope
What sets the price
The exact responsibilities, timing, and records depend on the agreed engagement. These are the areas we can discuss when shaping a scope that fits your business.
How the books arrive
Reconciled records file at the basic rate. Unreconciled ones need a review first, quoted separately.
Where you sell
Selling into other provinces brings place of supply rules and more than one rate into the return.
How many periods
A single current period is one price. Several missed periods are quoted together before any work starts.
