Massage therapy is taxable, which means there's HST to claim back that most RMTs never recover. We set your books up to capture every credit and keep tax season simple.
Charging HST feels like a chore. Done right, it hands money back to you on almost everything you buy for the practice.
You get savings twice: as deductions against your income, and as HST credits on the taxable ones. The common items:

Clean monthly books, reconciled and ready, so you always know where you stand.

Personal or corporate, filed on time and planned ahead, so the bill is one you saw coming.
Associates and staff paid right, with CPP, source deductions, and remittances handled.
Pick the level that fits where your books are at, and we take it from there.
Registered for HST? Add HST filing for $250, and we make sure your credits are captured.
Usually yes. Massage therapy isn't on the exempt list, so once your revenue passes $30,000 in a rolling year you register and charge HST. The upside is you also claim it back on your costs.
It's your total revenue over four rolling quarters, not a calendar year. Once you cross it, registration is required. We watch this for you so you don't miss the timing.
Through input tax credits. The HST you pay on rent, supplies, equipment, and other taxable costs comes back to you when you file. Most RMTs under-claim these, which is money lost.
Often, yes. If you do your admin from home, you can deduct a share of your rent or mortgage interest, utilities, and insurance, and recover some HST on the taxable portion.
Only when the math says so. Once you're consistently profitable it can save real tax, but it isn't free and isn't right for everyone yet. We'll run your numbers and tell you honestly.
Yes. Plenty of RMTs come to us behind rather than ahead. We'll get you caught up and back in control, without the lecture.
