Business Registration/ Renewal

Did you know…

The new Ontario Business Registry allows businesses and not-for-profit corporations to complete over 90 transactions online,
including registering, incorporating, and updating their information;

All businesses that operate under a name other than the owner’s must register their business name;

Businesses must renew their business name registration every five years (and the government does not send reminder notices);

If you exceed the $30,000 threshold¹ in a single calendar quarter you must register for GST/HST;

If you are self-employed and have a net income of more than $450,000, you must register for the Health Tax for the Self-Employed;

When you hire employees or contractors, you may be required to register with the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board;

You should check with your Municipality to determine if your business is required to obtain any specific permits or licences
