How do I Register Canadian Company Names?
- 1). Go online to the Canada Revenue Agency's Business Registration Online website using the link in References.
- 2). Click "Register Now."
- 3). Read the online regulations and registration checklist before registering, to ensure you have all necessary information on hand before starting.
- 4). Follow through with the registration process one step at a time. Read each question carefully and ensure you are entering accurate information. You have the option to apply for HST--HST replaces the federal goods and services tax (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST)--while going through with registration. According to the Ontario Ministry Of Revenue, companies in Canada must register for HST if their total worldwide taxable supplies of goods and services exceed $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or in four consecutive calendar quarters. At the end of the registration form you are required to pay a standard fee of $60 for registering the company name. You can pay online with a credit card.
- 5). Print a copy of your Master Business License and other important information after finishing the registration process to keep for your records.
