Navigating Canada’s multi-tiered sales tax system—from GST and HST to provincial variations (PST, QST, RST)—is a constant challenge for growing businesses and CPA practices. Between strict Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines, high-volume e-commerce transactions, and complex Input Tax Credit (ITC) tracking, a single coding error can trigger unwanted audits or result in unclaimed tax refunds.
At OBG Outsourcing Private Limited, we act as your dedicated off-site tax and reconciliation team. We systematically audit, reconcile, and align your sales and purchase ledgers against your tax accounts to ensure 100% CRA compliance and optimized tax recovery.
Our Core GST/HST Reconciliation Services
We go beyond basic data entry to provide end-to-end, multi-jurisdictional sales tax control:
GST/HST Ledger & Bank Reconciliation
We match collected and paid tax figures in your accounting system (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage) against bank statements, point-of-sale systems, and sales registers to eliminate balance mismatches before filing.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) Optimization & Audit
Don't pay more than you owe. We rigorously review vendor invoices and operational expenses to ensure every eligible ITC is captured and fully documented with proper CRA-compliant receipts.
Tax Coding & Rate Verification
Applying wrong tax tags across provinces is a top trigger for CRA audits. We audit line items to verify that place-of-supply rules, zero-rated sales, tax-exempt goods, and provincial rates (5% to 15%) are properly assigned.
Multi-Channel & E-commerce Reconciliation
Selling on Shopify, Amazon, or eBay? Multi-channel platforms complicate sales tax tracking. We aggregate sales data, separate marketplace-facilitator tax withholdings, and align your tax accounts per province seamlessly.
Control Account & Variance Cleanups
We resolve historical discrepancy backlogs in your GST/HST liability and asset accounts, clearing unallocated balances and producing clean trial balances for your year-end reporting.
Filing-Ready Workpaper Packages
We compile structured, transparent workpapers with full supporting documentation, making return filing fast and stress-free for your internal team or primary CPA.
