Ready to take your dropshipping business to the next level?

Dropshipping is a major player in the e-commerce game. The ease of which you can set up a dropshipping business means that many individuals around the world are looking to build businesses in this sphere and expand to new provinces, states, and countries.

Accountor CPA offers robust dropshipping accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services to individuals in Canada, the United States, and abroad who are looking to grow their dropshipping enterprise. We help businesses register for tax accounts, register businesses, analyze finances, and find avenues for growth so you can turn your dropshipping endeavor into a full time job.

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a business model that lets individuals sell products directly to the customer without having the inventory. A customer visits your e-commerce store, purchases the product, and then a third-party supplier ships it to them. The customer pays the retail price they see on your website, you pay the wholesale price to the supplier, and the difference is your revenue.

Dropshipping is a dynamic and challenging industry because you face the customer, but do not handle the inventory yourself or even have direct access to it. It is an easy business to set up, due to not needing inventory before you start selling products.

It’s obvious why dropshipping accounting and bookkeeping is so important. If you do not track your sales, expenses, costs, and documents thoroughly, you can easily experience issues with customer service and with your suppliers. Because you are relying on a third party for inventory and inventory management, it is essential that you track your sales properly so you can understand your customer and make appropriate changes that will suit them to help you grow your business.

Furthermore, dropshipping is a notoriously competitive business model. If your supplier starts partnering with other dropshippers who can offer products at a lower cost, you need to have a thorough understanding of your finances and accounting in order to understand if you can compete or if you need to change gears. This type of understanding only comes with thorough bookkeeping and accounting analysis.

Accounting and Tax Obligations for Dropshipping Businesses in Canada

In order to engage in dropshipping in Canada, you need to understand your firm’s tax obligations. If you do not charge sales tax in Canada on required products, you can find yourself facing penalties and legal action by the Canadian government.

Sales tax in Canada is charged on almost all products and services, except for products deemed “necessities” by the government. If a product is purchased by a Canadian from a dropshipper abroad, they should be paying the relevant Canadian sales tax on it. As an international agency or business selling to Canadians, you are required by law to charge this tax, collect it, and then remit it to the government.

Some provinces in Canada charge federal and provincial tax together in one rate known as HST, meaning you only need to file one tax return to cover multiple jurisdictions. However, other provinces and territories charge provincial sales tax (PST) and federal sales tax (GST) separately. This means you will need to file multiple returns to government agencies.

Most dropshipping businesses operate across a given country, so you will have to register for multiple tax numbers to cover your bases in Canada’s provinces. You then have to file various tax returns, pay multiple tax agencies, and meet various due dates.

At Accountor CPA, we understand that these responsibilities can be hard to keep track of. That’s why we offer drop shipping accounting services, with bookkeeping and tax preparation, to companies in Canada, the United States, and abroad. Our accounting and bookkeeping services keep your dropshipping business compliant with local tax laws and help you prepare for your business’ future effectively.

Tax Registration, Filing, and Tax Accounting for Dropshipping

The most common questions we are asked by dropshipping clients are about filing sales tax on their products. How often do you need to file your sales taxes in Canada if you sell to Canadians? What about abroad? Luckily, our experts are well-versed in Canadian tax law for domestic and foreign dropshippers and can help.

Generally, if your sales are less than 1.5 million CAD per year, you are only required to file once per year for the federal return. However, this does not cover all provinces. If you sell products in certain provinces and/or if you have over 1.5 million CAD in sales, you are required to file more often.

If you miss a tax filing period, are late on a tax charge due date, or fail to register for tax charging in Canada at all, you can incur hefty penalties from provincial and federal governments. Don’t take this risk and open yourself up to interest payments and fees!

From the moment you start selling taxable goods in Canada as an dropshipper, you should be charging the appropriate HST, GST, and/or PST. Whether you dropship on Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Aliexpress, or any other e-commerce site, the same rules and legislation apply.

At Accountor CPA, we help you:

  • Register all GST/HST and PST accounts
  • Set up rates in your accounting programs so clients are charged appropriately
  • Track your tax filing due dates
  • Calculate your tax remittances to appropriate governments
  • File your taxes and make remittances payments on your behalf
