Products were researched on Amazon.ca for an identifiable Amazon.ca listing, a practical accounting workflow, established brands or meaningful review signals, and clear compatibility where supplies are paired. Review counts and the few shown prices are snapshots, not guarantees. We omitted accounting software and low-review novelty products.
Back to the HST calculatorThis page puts Blueline items that blueline.com marks as Made in Canada first, then other Canadian-brand stationery, and only then imported alternatives, which are labelled as imported. Listings shipped and sold by Amazon.ca come before third-party sellers.
Under the regular method, you can generally claim input tax credits for HST paid on supplies you use in your business, as long as you keep the receipts. Under the Quick Method, everyday supplies are not claimed separately; RC4058 allows ITCs mainly on capital assets such as computers and on real property. See Quick Method vs regular method and CRA RC4058.
CRA generally expects you to keep your books and records, including receipts that support your GST/HST returns, for six years. A receipt book, a labelled filing box and a scanner make that easier. Source: CRA RC4058.
