About the Canadian Sales Receipt

A Canadian sales receipt documents a retail or service transaction under Canadian tax rules, typically showing both GST (Goods and Services Tax) and PST or HST depending on the province. Businesses and individuals recreate these receipts to replace lost copies, document cash sales, support expense claims, or satisfy bookkeeping and CRA compliance requirements. The format varies slightly by province but core fields are consistent across Canada.

Using a Canadian Sales Receipt

A valid receipt with your GST/HST number is required to claim input tax credits (ITCs) for business purchases under CRA rules.
Businesses must retain sales receipts for at least six years from the end of the tax year they relate to.
Provincial sales tax (PST or QST) requirements differ by province — receipts should reflect the correct rate for the point of sale.
For returns or exchanges, most Canadian retailers require the original receipt or a reprint showing the transaction date and items purchased.

FAQs

Does a Canadian sales receipt need to show a GST/HST number?

Yes, if the seller is registered for GST/HST and the sale is $30 or more, the CRA requires the business number on the receipt so buyers can claim input tax credits. Sellers with annual revenue under $30,000 may be small suppliers exempt from registration.

How do I show both GST and PST on a receipt?

In provinces with separate GST and PST (such as British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), list each tax on its own line with the applicable rate. In HST provinces (Ontario, Nova Scotia, etc.), a single HST line covers both federal and provincial portions.

Can I use a recreated Canadian sales receipt for expense reimbursement?

Yes. A clearly formatted receipt showing the business name, date, items, taxes, and total is generally accepted for corporate expense claims. Ensure the GST/HST number is included if the purchase was subject to those taxes.

What currency and format should a Canadian sales receipt use?

Amounts should be in Canadian dollars (CAD or $). Dates are commonly formatted as DD/MM/YYYY or Month DD, YYYY. Tax rates and labels must match the province where the sale occurred.
