How To Get GST/HST Returns
If you filed your last GST/HST return online, the CRA will mail you an electronic filing information sheet (GST34-3). Otherwise, the CRA will mail you a personalized four-page return (GST34-2). On the first page of both there is a four-digit access code for electronic filing.
If you lose or did not receive either one, you can do one of the following :
** use our GST/HST Access Code Online service to get a new access code for electronic filing
** use the Online order form to get the non-personalized version (GST62) of the paper return
** call 1-800-959-5525 to get a new GST34-2
Methods To File GST/HST Returns
Before you choose a method, you have to determine :
** if you are required to file online
** which online method you can use online
To help you prepare your electronic GST/HST return, use the GST/HST Return Working Copy and keep a copy for your own records.
You can also file :
** in person at a participating financial institution
** by mail by sending your paper GST/HST return (GST34-2 or GST62) to the address on the return
When to File GST/HST Returns
The personalized GST/HST return (Form GST34-2) will show the due date at the top of the form. The due date of your return is determined by your reporting period.
We can charge penalties and interest on any returns or amounts we have not received by the due date. If you are closing a GST/HST account, you need to file a final return.
You have to file a GST/HST return even if you have :
** no business transactions
** no net tax to remit
When a due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public holiday recognized by the CRA, your payment is on time if we receive it on the next business day.
Filing a GST/HST Return Late
If you do not file your return on time, the CRA may charge a penalty. If you have an overdue amount, we will charge interest. We will hold any GST/HST refund or rebate you are entitled to until we receive all outstanding returns and amounts.
This includes all amounts payable and returns required under other programs administered by the CRA. We can also use any GST/HST refund or rebate that you are entitled to receive to pay that outstanding amount.
