If your taxable sales are $400,000 or less a year (including tax) and you have been in business at least a year, the Quick Method lets you remit a flat percentage of your sales instead of tracking GST/HST on each expense (in Alberta 3.6% for services, 1.8% for reselling goods), plus a 1% credit on the first $30,000. You still claim tax paid on capital purchases. Not allowed for bookkeepers, accountants, lawyers, tax preparers, charities and some others. Elect with Form GST74. Compare both methods before choosing.
