Couriers in Canada are required to register for a GST/HST account if your total self-employed income exceeds $30,000 in a 12-month period.
If your earnings are below $30,000, registration is optional, but you may choose to register voluntarily.
Do I Charge GST/HST on My Deliveries?
No. Trexity operates under a zero-rated interline freight courier service model. This means:
- You do not charge GST/HST on your delivery earnings
- The applicable tax rate for these services is 0%
Can I Claim GST/HST on Expenses?
- If you are registered for GST/HST, you may be eligible to:
- Claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) on business-related expenses (e.g., gas, vehicle maintenance).
- If you are not registered, you cannot claim ITCs
How Trexity is Structured
- Trexity is considered the invoicing carrier
- Couriers provide interline freight courier services under Trexity
- Merchants are billed directly by Trexity, not by individual couriers
Important Note:
Couriers on the platform are independent contractors, not employees of Trexity.
