Client Charged GST Before He Was GST Registered

Posted By Peggy-Sue over 9 years ago

I have a new client that is way, way behind in everything. In fact, no bookkeeping has been done and no CRA filings have been done. He started charging GST on his invoices from day one, but did not register for GST until several months later. What happens to the GST he charged before he registered? Does he need to change his GST filing start date? I haven't done any posting yet so need to know the best way to deal with this.

Thanks for your help.

Check this link below and look for 'Volunteer Registration' it states what to do if GST charged on sales that is more than 30 days prior to registration.

There is also a site called GST Registry - this allows customers to verify the GST number of the supplier prior to pay for it. If it has been months then it sounds like a lot of customers are not verifying if GST is legitimate.

Also check this site for Invoice Requirement - your client needs a lot of educating.
