When will you need to register for GST/HST?
In Canada, you must register for a GST/HST account once your taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. NorthOS includes a Tax Threshold Tracker that monitors your income in real-time, providing alerts before you hit the CRA limit to ensure you stay on top of your GST/HST obligations without the stress.
NorthOS automatically organizes your business income and expenses to match CRA T2125 categories — so when tax season arrives, your records are already sorted. Support for T776 (Real Estate Rentals) is in development.
The Idea Incubator is a voice-to-text capture tool designed for founders who think faster than they can type. It allows you to record raw business ideas on the fly, which NorthOS then organizes into Operations Cards within your central dashboard for future execution.
NorthOS is built around the GST/HST Quick Method — the CRA-approved simplified remittance approach available to most businesses under $400,000 in annual taxable sales. Instead of tracking every individual ITC, you remit a flat percentage of gross revenue. Your remittance is calculated automatically every time you log income. For complex tax situations, we always recommend working with a Canadian accountant — NorthOS makes sure your records are organized and ready when you need them.
