The rules

What the law asks of a gallery in Canada

Tax

GST/HST

  • GST is 5%. Ontario charges 13% HST, Nova Scotia 14% (from 1 April 2025), and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island 15%. British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec add their own provincial tax.
  • You must register once your taxable sales pass C$30,000 in a calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters.

Privacy

PIPEDA

  • PIPEDA applies to the personal information businesses collect in most provinces. Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia have their own private-sector privacy laws.

How Artfolio helps

Built in, on every plan

Invoices in Canadian dollars

Invoices, proformas and offers in Canadian dollars or any of more than 160 currencies, each document keeping its own.

Your GST/HST No. on every document

Add your GST/HST No. in Settings, and your buyers' on their contacts. Artfolio checks the format and prints each under the name its country uses: ABN, VAT number, GST/HST number, TRN or Tax ID.

GST/HST at the rate you set

Set your GST/HST rates on your letterhead, and choose tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive prices line by line.

Consent and data requests

Record who agreed to marketing, how and with what wording. Export or erase one person's data, and track requests to see, correct or delete data with a due date.

Access for the right people

Roles and permission templates decide who sees collector details and prices, and your team can be required to use two-factor sign-in.

Where your data lives

Your database, sign-in, uploaded files and backups are hosted in Mumbai, India (AWS ap-south-1), and the Artfolio app runs on servers in Mumbai. The database is backed up automatically every day, and the last seven days of backups are kept, also in Mumbai.

Still yours to do

What stays with your gallery

  • File your GST/HST returns, and charge provincial sales tax where it applies.
  • Choose the right rate for each sale: Artfolio applies the rate you set on the invoice; it doesn't work out the buyer's province.
  • Take advice from your accountant and lawyer for your gallery's situation.
