In this video tutorial, I show you exactly how to file your GST/HST return online to the CRA (and pay it). It's actually a super simple process, but can be intimidating if you've never done it before. That's why I wanted to show you how I do it.

The key things to remember is it's super important to keep organized with your accounting. That could mean using a spreadsheet or using accounting software (I show you my Freshbooks account), or both.

Then, really the only info you need in order to file your GST/HST return is your total business revenue (from within Canada and outside of Canada) not including GST/HST. Then the total amount of GST/HST you've collected on top of that business revenue. Then the total amount of GST/HST you've paid on business expenses that can be used for input tax credits. You would do this for your particular reporting period, for me it's quarterly, but for you, it might be annually or monthly.

Once you've done it a few times, you'll realize how easy it is. If you have any questions, make sure to leave them in the comments!
