How is HST vs GST + PST handled by province?

Invoicemonk applies the correct rate per province: HST in ON / NB / NS / NL / PE, GST + PST in BC / SK / MB, GST + QST in QC, GST only in AB and the territories.

Is the CAD 150 buyer-detail threshold enforced?

Yes. Above CAD 150 the buyer name and supply description are mandatory and Invoicemonk requires them before issue.

Do I need a Canadian Peppol participant ID?

Invoicemonk's Access Point partner registers and manages your Canadian Peppol participant ID; no separate setup.

Are GST/HST returns filed from Invoicemonk?

Return figures are exposed for CRA My Business Account submission with digital linkage to source invoices.

Are zero-rated and exempt supplies coded correctly?

Yes. Zero-rated (e.g. basic groceries, exports) and exempt (e.g. financial services, residential rent) supplies are coded per CRA schedules.

What you get

Built for Canada from day one

What CRA + Peppol Canada require

CRA requires a tax invoice to carry the supplier name, GST/HST registration number, date, total amount, an indication of whether each amount includes or excludes GST/HST, and (for invoices above CAD 150) the buyer's name and a description of the supply, plus the GST/HST rate and amount. Canada is also a member of the Peppol network under a national Peppol Authority, enabling structured invoice exchange with Peppol-onboarded buyers.

How Invoicemonk meets CRA + Peppol Canada

Invoicemonk applies the CRA field rules (including the CAD 150 buyer-detail threshold), splits GST 5% / HST 13% or 15% per province, applies QST 9.975% in Quebec via the Revenu Québec interaction, and routes structured invoices through a certified Peppol Access Point to Peppol-onboarded buyers. GST/HST return figures are exposed for CRA filing.

Who this applies to

All Canadian GST/HST registrants. Peppol routing kicks in automatically for buyers with a Canadian Peppol participant ID.
