About GST/HST TELEFILE

GST/HST TELEFILE is part of the Canada Revenue Agency's continuing efforts to give businesses convenient electronic service options. Qualifying businesses can use this service to file their GST/HST returns in a matter of minutes using their touch-tone telephone and a toll-free number. GST/HST TELEFILE is a fast, free, and easy-to-use filing option that reduces processing time, eliminates the need to mail paper returns, and speeds up refunds.

How does it work?

Using GST/HST TELEFILE is as easy as making a 1-800 phone call. Qualifying businesses simply have to prepare a GST/HST return and call the toll-free telephone number. An automated telephone process will prompt clients to give their tax information using their telephone keypad.

Once the data has been entered, clients will be asked to confirm that they want to file the information they entered as their return. Clients will immediately get a confirmation number and their return will start being processed.
