📅 Canadian Business Owners: Track your HST/GST collection with the "15th Rule" Here's what most miss: If you're HST-registered, you must file quarterly returns by the 15th of the month following each quarter (April 15, July 15, Oct 15, Jan 15). But here's the cash flow killer - many business owners don't track HST separately from their income. They see a $1,130 payment and think "I made $1,130!" when really they made $1,000 and collected $130 in HST for the CRA. Simple fix: Every time you invoice, immediately transfer the HST portion to a separate "CRA account." When filing time comes, the money's ready and your cash flow stays predictable. No more scrambling to find HST money you accidentally spent on business expenses. How do you currently track your HST collections? 🤔
