Mobillify for Canada
Invoicing for Canadian contractors and trades, started from a text
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs and renovation crews can text the customer, the work and the price. Mobillify drafts a branded invoice with GST, HST or provincial tax lines for you to review, then the finished PDF comes back to you to forward.
You stay in control. Mobillify prepares a draft. You check the customer, line items and tax before you confirm. It does not replace advice from your accountant or the Canada Revenue Agency.
Tax lines
GST, HST and PST lines you can review
Pick the province of the job and Mobillify keeps each tax on its own line, so you can see exactly what is being charged before you finalise the invoice.
- Federal tax is labelled HST for Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and GST for the other provinces and territories.
- Provincial tax such as PST appears as a separate line instead of being folded into the price.
- Items are sorted into service, materials and goods, or exempt, so labour and parts can be reviewed on their own lines.
- If a province needs a closer look, for example British Columbia PST on taxable goods or provincial tax in Manitoba, Quebec or Saskatchewan, Mobillify shows a warning to review instead of guessing.
- If no GST/HST registration number is on file, you get a notice that federal tax was not added.
Tax rules depend on your registration, the type of work and where it is supplied. Check the current rates and your own obligations with the Canada Revenue Agency or your accountant.
