Alex44 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Hi I am adding some hotels to the staycation section of Ufile but noticed they are asking for a HST number. How do I find this?? I stayed in five hotels in 2022, do I really need to call each one to find this out. Is there no easier option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Hello Alex44, ON479 - Ontario staycation tax credit The GST / HST number is a required field for the Ontario Staycation credit as per the CRA. The accommodation expenses must have been paid by you, your spouse or common-law partner, or your eligible child, as set out on a detailed receipt provided by a supplier registered for the Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-staycation-tax-credit#section-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex44 Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Its a required field but I contacted my Airbnb host and they mentioned they don't deal with this. So what do I do in a situation like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Helo Alex44, You should contact either AirbnB or the CRA : 1-800-959-8281 for inquiries related to individuals.

BLSM Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Alex, you shouldn't need to call anyone. Just look on your bill. If they charged the tax, they need to include their tax number on the invoice. Don't say you don't have the bills - they are needed to claim the credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAZZ Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 When you go on the Ontario website - you need to note only the GST/HST I.e. the amount of any GST/HST paid so I am wondering if UFile has an error in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAZZ Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Website looks to be misleading. I just spoke with. CRA and yup - need the number no reply needed thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilyums Posted Wednesday at 06:26 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:26 PM The B&B we stayed at said that because they are small enough (<$30,000 over 4 quarters according to the CRA website) they did not register for GST/HST number. Accordingly, they do not charge HST and do not have an HST number (just a registered business number). https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/when-register-charge.html Can we make the claim and Netfile?

Geo123 Posted Thursday at 11:51 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:51 AM Hello Wilyums, Please try submitting without the GST/HST number, CRA may have updated the requirement that this is an obligatory field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
