GST/HST accounting software
Hengo automatically calculates GST (5%), HST (13–15% by province), and QST (9.975% in Quebec) on every invoice and expense. It tracks input tax credits, generates CRA-ready returns, and supports monthly, quarterly, and annual filing — all included starting at $19/month.
Automatic GST/HST calculation by province
Hengo calculates the correct tax rate based on the province of supply. Ontario gets 13% HST, New Brunswick gets 15% HST, Alberta gets 5% GST, Quebec gets 5% GST + 9.975% QST — all automatically. You enter your GST/HST registration number once, and Hengo handles the rest.
On every invoice, Hengo shows the tax breakdown (pre-tax amount, GST, HST, QST, total) so your clients can see exactly what they are paying. On every expense, Hengo calculates the input tax credit portion so your ITCs are tracked automatically.
Input tax credit tracking
When you enter or import an expense, Hengo calculates the tax portion and adds it to your ITC balance. At filing time, your GST/HST return shows total tax collected (Line 105) minus total ITCs (Line 108), giving you the net tax payable or refundable (Line 109).
Hengo also tracks which expenses are eligible for ITCs and which are not (e.g., meals and entertainment are only 50% eligible). This ensures your ITC claim is accurate and reduces the risk of a CRA reassessment.
CRA-ready sales tax returns
When it is time to file, Hengo generates a sales tax return with all the numbers you need for the CRA's online portal: Line 101 (sales), Line 105 (GST/HST collected), Line 108 (ITCs), and Line 109 (net tax). For Quebec businesses, Hengo generates a separate QST return for Revenu Québec.
Hengo supports monthly, quarterly, and annual filing frequencies, matching the CRA's requirements based on your revenue. You can also view your tax position at any time during the period, so there are no surprises at filing time.
