Find personal and business tax services in Nova Scotia
Where do I find Nova Scotia income tax and HST services?
Nova Scotia income-tax returns and HST are administered through CRA. Certain HST rebates have separate provincial routes. Check the relevant year or transaction date instead of carrying a previous rate into a new filing.
Where to begin
- Open CRA’s Nova Scotia personal package for the year being filed and review NS428 and applicable credit forms.
- For a corporation, use CRA’s Nova Scotia corporation-tax page and its instructions for the relevant tax year.
- For ordinary HST reporting and payment, follow CRA’s GST/HST route.
- If seeking a rebate, use Nova Scotia’s HST fact sheet to distinguish CRA-administered rebates from designated provincial programs.
- Verify the current official instructions for the transaction date before calculating any sales tax or claiming a rebate.
Before you open the official service
