⚠No territorial sales tax means your CRA GST account is the only filing obligation for most Yukon sole proprietors — no additional registration required.

Quick Method for Yukon sole proprietors

Yukon has no territorial sales tax, making GST filing straightforward for sole proprietors. Whitehorse hosts a growing remote-work and professional services community, with many sole proprietors invoicing clients across Canada or internationally. The Quick Method reduces remittance from 5% to 3.6% on tax-included service revenue — a meaningful saving when common Yukon business expenses like rent, remote living costs, and utilities generate little to no ITCs. Yukon's seasonal tourism and outdoor services sector also benefits: because remittance scales with actual revenue, quieter off-season periods automatically produce smaller remittance amounts.

To elect the Quick Method: file Form GST74 with CRA before the first day of the reporting period you want it to apply to. Once elected, you must stay on Quick Method for at least one full fiscal year before switching back.

Who can't use Quick Method: accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers, notaries, financial advisors, and actuaries are ineligible in all provinces. Most other sole proprietors with annual taxable revenue under $400,000 qualify.
